EP13 - Hiram Ramirez
From jumping down a rabbit hole in the discovery of insulating organic mushrooms to leaving a career behind, Hiram Ramirez found his passion in a world unknown. At the time, there wasn't a local purveyor of mushrooms at the restaurant level or consumer market, so Hiram took a leap of faith, and it paid off.
Urban Gourmet Farms produces over 1,000 pounds of mushrooms each week, feeding restaurants around the greater Charlotte region and at three well-attended Farmers Markets. But the secret to their success has less to do with the immaculate product they grow and more with the relationships they have built over the years with chefs and market goers.
Hear how Hiram found his vision and created something amazing, in a second act he never saw coming.
