I am a descendant of Peruvians. Peru is right next door to the Amazon jungle. My aunts taught me at a very young age that our remedies for all ailments lie in the Amazon. In 1968, my aunt led an expedition of scientists into the Amazon and showed them the numerous plants and its effects. I have grown up with plants and herbs being shipped to our home in Missouri for different ailments that came along with life’s expectancies. This is where my interests in plants, herbs, fruits and anything the body can digest came from.

I came to Monterey County in the year 2000. I was fascinated by the fields and all that was growing near and around us. I realized that our health starts in our gut. Eating healthy and having a healthy digestive system keeps the illness away. Leafy greens, legumes root vegetables and fruits are key to quality nutrition. I bought myself a good blender to make drinks with dark leafy greens along with fruits to improve my health.

I have cared for people after ileostomy surgery as well as a Covid 19 patient. Although this new virus has not been around long enough, good nutrients from plants help strengthen cell activity and lessen the stress on the lungs and blood pressure.

To sum it all up, we have a pharmacy in these fields. Use it!

Fresh baby romaine grown in Yuma during the winter months and then Salinas, CA area for the rest of the year. The change in seasonal location and temperature provide better quality produce. I only do business with the growers who are committed to food safety and quality and I only buy the best.

Growers work very hard to bring you the best fruits and vegetables every day. They also educate me on new

hybrids of fruits and vegetables that they have developed. I bring you these exciting new hybrids before it hits markets. I will show you how to enjoy these new breeds with exciting new recipes

I only deal with growers who practice a high level of food safety.
