About 5 Carrots
We believe that food has the power to heal, media has the power to shape culture, and shared experiences have the power to inspire change.
Since 2012, we've been placing purpose-driven brands in influential environments where culture is created. From major motion picture and television productions to backstage at concerts, galas, hospitality, and wellness events, we bring brands into spaces where people, stories, and experiences come together.
We partner with brands, productions, and organizations that share our passion for better food, healthier living, and positive change. Together, we create opportunities for products and ideas to reach new audiences through authentic experiences.
Through strategic partnerships, entertainment and experiential marketing, chef integrations, curated brand experiences, Set Sampling and Product Tastements, we bring the best brands wherever inspiration takes us.
Sara Paul
Founder, 5 Carrots
Sara Paul is a food activist, creative, and connector who brings the 5 Carrots magic into the places where people live, work, create, gather, and celebrate.
Since founding 5 Carrots in 2012, Sara has woven organic food, wellness, and mission-driven brands into movie sets, concerts, festivals, galas, nonprofits, and creative spaces around the country.
A pioneer in the green movement, she founded CSA California, creating a produce box fundraiser that helped schools raise money for school gardens while connecting communities with fresh, organic food. She went on to produce the Healthy America Tour in a tiny house on wheels, which later became the first organic, plant-based craft service business in Hollywood.
Known on set as “Superfood Sara,” she has always been a natural at sourcing the best stuff and connecting the right people. A dancer, poet, mother, and creative herself, she loves being both behind the scenes and part of the experience.
At the heart of her work is a desire to heal the healers, influence the influencers, and support the artists, creators, and visionaries who are creating positive change.
Now based in Sarasota, Florida, she is expanding that vision through wellness, concierge services, food forests, and regenerative living.
Forrest Hutchens
Director of Operations/Client Experience, 5 Carrots
Forrest Hutchens brings a grounded, curious, and deeply human energy to 5 Carrots. He first joined the 5 Carrots world through the Healthy America Tour in 2015, and has been part of the journey ever since.
With a background in technology, life coaching, wellness, raw food, and personal development, Forrest is endlessly curious about human potential and the intersection of science, spirit, and the unknown. He loves exploring new ideas, discovering emerging approaches to wellness, and asking the bigger questions about what is possible.
At 5 Carrots, Forrest is the person who listens closely, remembers the details, and makes sure people feel taken care of. Whether supporting a production, coordinating an event, working with brands, or connecting with clients, he brings patience, warmth, and a natural ability to make things happen.
Outside of work, Forrest is happiest with his family, on a bike, at the beach, or working in the food forest. He believes some of life’s greatest gifts are found in nature, connection, curiosity, and simply showing up for the people you love.
He and Sara share a passion for sourcing the best things life has to offer and connecting them with the people who will appreciate them most.
