Sacking Organic Vegetables

AP

Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila is an All-Pro defensive end for the Green Bay Packers. But the man known as “KGB” is known for more than planting quarterbacks in the ground–Gbaja-Biamila is also an organic gardener.

As a high school student in Los Angeles, Gbaja-Biamila (whose name translates to ‘Big Man Come and Save Me’ in Nigerian), was involved in an effort called “Food From the Hood,” the first ever student-run natural food company that provided South Central Los Angeles with high-quality organic produce. He’s still involved in organic foods as an investor at “Naked Foods” in Howard, Wisconsin.
