Farm Kitchen Managers
"Whatever you do, do it from the heart as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that you will receive the reward from the Lord."
-Colossians 3:23-24
Humberto Carrion (left), Orlando Becerra (center), and Guadalupe Carrion (right). Together, they are the heart and soul of our restaurant, FARM. Humberto and Lupe are brothers and Orlando is their cousin. They spent their childhoods together by the mountains and lakes of San Juan, Jalisco where they discovered the joy of cooking while helping their mother prepare meals. Upon arrival in Palm Springs, they banded together, learning the profession of hospitality.
Our chefs draw inspiration from all over the world. From Mexico to Japan, they're all well-versed in international cuisine. The source of their dedication and the motivator behind each creation is the joyful emotions experienced through food. From the care and love in the preparation of each dish, to the reaction of our guests being served the finished product, we are comforted to know that we are in such capable hands.
