Garfield A. Southwell, a 29-year-old visionary from Sandvoort Village, West Canje Berbice, is the Founder and Director of *Countryside Products*—a mission-driven enterprise dedicated to replacing overly processed foods with organic, nutrient-rich alternatives in Guyana and beyond.

A devoted husband and father to two daughters, Garfield’s journey began with a simple goal: ensuring his family had access to wholesome, chemical-free nourishment. Today, that passion fuels his work to empower all families through innovative, natural food preservation methods that prioritize health and sustainability.

Born and raised in rural Berbice, Garfield stays grounded in humility and respect, values instilled by his tight-knit community. When he’s not pioneering clean-label solutions, you’ll find him unwinding with a game of table tennis or chess, hobbies that reflect his love for strategy and connection.

For Garfield, success isn’t just about business growth—it’s about fostering healthier communities, honoring tradition, and proving that “quality food for all” is more than a slogan; it’s a responsibility.
