To be happy, to be healthy, and to leave a legacy – these are the rationale of Miguel ‘Mike’ Pedroso, proprietor of Mike Pedroso Farms, behind his involvement in agriculture.
Prior to farming, he worked as an assistant chemist and moved to various positions in the manufacturing industry for over 14 years. It was in 1999 when Pedroso decided to stop climbing the corporate ladder, to apply for early retirement, and to pursue farming instead.
Pedroso and his wife, Luz, were so occupied with their jobs that most of the food they consumed was from restaurants. Having realized how unhealthy this lifestyle was, they opted to grow their own food instead.
