In 2012, Stone won a Shorty Award in the “Green” category[5] (for which he was nominated by Green Festivals[6][7]), and joined the advisory board of SXSW for their festival's environmental conference, SXSW Eco.[2][8] Stone's career began as a computer engineer at the U.S. Department of Defense.[4] His early engagement in the technology industry and environmental movement led him to blog for the Discovery Channel. He attracted enough interest that YouTube approached him to start a channel, Cooking Stoned.[4] The channel was later renamed to Jerry James Stone. Prior to focusing on the sustainable food movement, he contributed to The Atlantic, Discovery Channel's Tree Hugger and Animal Planet, and MAKE Magazine.[6] In 2014, Jerry started the Three Loaves project for organizing home cooks to help feed the homeless in their community.[9] He has developed recipes for Whole Foods Market, Costco, and Cline Cellars.[2][10] His recipes have also been featured by the Today Show[11] and People Magazine.[3][12] He was written about in Forbes in 2020.[13] As of 2015, he has more than 600,000 social media followers.[4]
