Joan Carulla (Juneda, 1923) has been ahead of his time for a century. For more than 50 years he has been cultivating his orchard of 40 fruit trees and endless rows of vegetables on a rooftop on the fifth floor.

He was an environmentalist before the word was coined. Pacifist since our tragic Civil War, which passed over him. Vegetarian in the miserable post-war period, "by conviction and necessity". Pioneer also of the era of supermarkets and president of the Food Guild.
