Ethan Pearah
Farmer | (he/him)
Hello, my name is Ethan and I am from San Diego, California. I study Sustainable Agriculture & Food Systems at UC Davis. I am very passionate about connecting people to food production and helping people improve their understanding of food to make it one of the most healthy and enjoyable parts of life! In my free time I enjoy making music, taking photos, surfing, cooking, and caring for my garden. My favorite vegetable might have to be the onion or really the whole Allium family because of their fantastic culinary uses.
