About Us

Perhaps you know us as the "forever garden partners," Crys and Los... or maybe you don't know us at all. We are Carlos and Crystal León - the husband-and-wife team behind "The Radish Hotel". Crystal has a background in nutrition and garden education. Carlos has a background in cooking, woodworking, and restauranteering. We have both been gardening for most of our lives. Together and separately, we've managed urban gardening projects, farm stands, and have been on discussion panels across the country to advocate for food justice in low-income communities. 

This is who we are. "The Radish Hotel" is what we have built.
It began with a simple desire to feed & nourish our family well (not only what we put in our bodies, but what we put on them). Our small operation began in 2019 as an urban farm in Sparks and took off greatly in the years to follow, as we watched a global shift take place amid the pandemic and supply chain disruptions. People began to think more consciously about the products they consumed and where they were coming from.  It was in those years that the Radish Hotel blossomed into something that not only took care of our family, but it also began to take care of our community, via the products we were creating. Today we are still greatly driven by the desire to know where our food comes from and what is housed in the body care products we lather onto our skin. The products we create are thoughtfully crafted, and the ingredients we use (from locally grown to organically farmed), are mindfully sourced.

We are always working to improve and draw great inspiration from our roots - simply making and preserving, the way our grandparents used to. 

We are extremely honored to be able to invite you 

on this journey with us.
