More than a decade later, that group of producers has grown in number, and our relationships have deepened. Ovidio “Machete” Gomez was among the members of that initial group. Ovidio is a man of few words, but hidden beneath his gruff exterior (often with a machete in hand), he is a passionate soul who cares deeply for the land and his community.
