Our Story
The Producer
Founded by Ras Levi Peynado in 2012, Ras was born and raised in Seattle, Washington.
Growing up, his mother worked as a craftsperson at the Pike Place Market and eventually became Market Master and Farm Program Manager. His father lived and died in Jamaica where he was a fourth generation farmer... and a very humble Rasta man.
After a trip to Jamaica, Ras decided to follow in his parents footsteps. In 2010, Ras began growing herbs on an urban farm while developing recipes with his friends and family.
The Farm

On our farm we grow a variety of herbs ranging from

The Process
