"A zero mile herb garden that the clients can see is really powerful and fits well into our narrative."
Jimmy Garcia Catering is at the cutting edge of event catering. Trusted by leading brands including Google, Samsung and Vogue they bring Michelin-quality food to a ranch of pop-ups, weddings and corporate events. Their focus is broad with a deep commitment to local provenance, zero waste and seasonality that keeps them innovating.
"Produce being grown in its perfect environment, in its perfect climate, with no pesticide issues."
One of the guiding principles of Jimmy Garcia Catering is their 10-mile concept, where at least one element of every canapé must be sourced from within 10 miles of their HQ.
Having an Evogro, where fresh produce can be grown in the kitchen just metres away, is a natural extension of this philosophy. Herbs and other ingredients can be cut to order as needed, helping to minimise unnecessary waste while ensuring maximum freshness.
"It's a pleasure to be dealing with rather than a burden.”
With event catering being such a fast-paced and demanding environment, Evogro offers more than just a growing tool; it's a system. From AI crop monitoring and guidance from the app to the dedicated customer care team, ensuring you get the most from your cabinet is a priority.
This support also makes it easier to experiment with new crops, giving the kitchen the confidence to explore new avenues without sacrificing consistency.
"People really love a story and I think you can tell your own story by growing your own plants and vegetables in an Evogro."
The seed-to-plate philosophy has never been more relevant, particularly in today’s climate. Growing the freshest produce on site reduces food miles, eliminates the risk of plant disease and reduces reliance on third-party suppliers.
For Jimmy Garcia Catering, this creates a more secure and sustainable approach to sourcing, while allowing ingredients to tell that story. With produce grown in the clean, controlled environment of the Evogro cabinet, there's greater confidence in the quality and provenance of every crop.
