“To provide a healthy alternative while educating our community and securing our place in the organic culture.” This is the mission of Chad Cherry, Roosevelt Desir, Kirk Nelson and Andre Walker. Cherry said “We want people to live a more organic lifestyle,” “Not necessarily 100 percent, but to incorporate being green, sustainability, taking care of your body and mind.” At least two of the four, that last admonition is more than trend-speak. Chad Cherry a 28 year old has type II diabetes, and in 2006 Roosevelt Desir a 26 year old developed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in remission since a bone marrow transplant last year.
Roosevelt Desir said “As soon as I finished treatment, my best friend introduced me to Kirk and Chad about organic,” “I took the opportunity and ran with it. I always loved to cook and took some of what I know and what I learned from the guys and clicked right off the bat.”
Kirk Nelson is 27 and a head chef his come up with the sauces for all the dishes. Pineapple jerks sauce, mango peppercorn sauce and a honey mango that is perfect for holiday baked ham. Andre Walker age 34 he said “I jump in wherever needed marketing strategies, for instance. But cooking is a love of mine” and his specialty are codfish fritters. Roosevelt Desir specialty is a dish called legumes, long steamed eggplant and cabbage, sometimes with carrots and parsley. And Chad Cherry makes a mango mousse with fresh strawberries and a strawberry reduction and also says that “We plan to be the new face of organic.”
