Happy 60th Birthday to the Big Boss — Bob Andersen! 🎉

Today we celebrate an extraordinary man — our Managing Director, mentor, colleague, and above all, an inspiration: Bob Andersen.

Since taking over the farm in 1993, Bob has transformed it into a thriving enterprise of 400 hectares — now home to 1,800 employees and producing an incredible 90 million roses and 12 million avocados each year. Beyond its success, the farm stands as a model of sustainability, with 150 hectares of preserved wild forest, responsible water systems, and a strong commitment toward becoming carbon neutral.

But Bob’s impact reaches far beyond the farm.

In 2005, he helped establish a trust with Dr. Bea that has since grown into a lifeline for the community — supporting a hospital that treats 26,000 patients annually, three schools educating 4,000 children, an orphanage, and countless development projects that uplift hundreds of lives every month.

Bob is many things — a pilot, an international businessman — but at heart, he proudly remains “just a farmer.” A farmer with vision, humor, and an unmatched ability to bring energy, laughter, and purpose into every room.

He is a devoted father, a loyal friend, a caring brother, and a deeply loved partner. And perhaps his greatest achievement of all is one still in progress: creating opportunities, building livelihoods, and lifting people out of poverty.

Bob, we are incredibly proud to work alongside you. Thank you for your leadership, your passion, and your unwavering belief in what’s possible.

We appreciate you. We celebrate you. We wish you the happiest of birthdays.

Happy 60th Birthday, Big Boss! 🥳
