Carlos Rodriguez is a chef turned farmer. He learned to grow hands-on at Unearthed Organics under Jordan Marr, and started his own operation in early 2020 on a sixth of an acre of leased land matched through the BC Land Matching Program.
The produce feeds straight into chef-made condiments, sauces and prepared foods. The growing is done with organic methods and biological pest control, though the operation is not certified.
Two of those come through the shop regularly: a Sunrise tomato sauce, and a frozen pesto made from carrot tops, which is a neat use of a part of the plant most kitchens throw away.
