Garlic products with a scent of social progress
The spicy smell of the “stinking rose” may be intoxicating, but if it’s Garlic Gold you’re putting on your pasta, that’s not even the best part.
Foe of vampires and friend to gourmets across the globe, this pungent bulb has been enjoyed with a cacophony of cuisines, and revered for its curative properties since ancient times. And now it’s available toasted and mixed with extra virgin olive oil. Of course you’ll find much more than crunchy garlic in that jar of Garlic Gold—you’ll find a whole new way of doing business, putting people first.
At Seven Oaks Ranch in Ojai, California, garlic, in addition to Meyer lemons, tomatoes, and other produce, is grown organically. The company—which has about 15 employees—was founded with the idea that business should help society. The concept is put into practise in the workplace, where each batch of Garlic Gold is made by hand, and everyone gets a living wage and health insurance.
The company’s founders were dismayed at the dwindling numbers of blue-collar jobs in Southern California, which they felt was creating a wider gap between rich and poor, and became determined to do something about it. Employees—predominantly Hispanic—are guaranteed a bilingual workplace and a 40-hour workweek made up of eight-hour days in a pleasant new facility. Several workers are moms, and children are welcome on the premises.
So enjoy your “stinking rose”: your cure for the common cold, your hangover folk remedy—or however you want to think of one of nature’s finest flavours—and eat assured that you’re putting people first.
