Carl, Vauxhall
Carl had parts in both Grange Hill and Eastenders before taking on the very different role of working with organic and biodynamic fruit and vegetables. Over 15 years, he’s built incredible relationships with certified growers across the UK and Europe who prioritise soil health, biodiversity and long term stewardship of the land. Driven by a belief that food systems should work in balance with nature, and not against it, Carl’s approach delivers exceptional quality.
