Guinaha I Lanchero, Farmer Feature Jeremy Bevacqua

Jeremy Bevacqua at the Hagatña G3 Community Garden

Jeremy’s journey into farming wasn’t written in the stars—it was planted in the soil by his grandparents. Growing up, he spent countless hours learning the rhythms of the land, guided by the wisdom passed down through generations. The farming community knows his father, Dr. Bob Bevacqua, as a dedicated educator in agriculture at UOG, but Jeremy’s own path took an unexpected turn—he majored in music! Yet, the pull of the earth was undeniable.

Today, Jeremy finds his greatest joy in growing food with his two sons, Myles and Joaquin, sharing with them the same hands-on lessons he once learned. His farm provides fresh produce for Guåhan Sustainable Culture’s Farm Fresh program.

His role in food security doesn’t stop at farming—Jeremy teaches composting through the Composting in Every Village initiative, empowering others to turn waste into nourishment.

Beyond the fields, Jeremy is also a research assistant, helping to develop an aquaculture system that will sustainably produce marine species for Guam. And if that wasn’t enough, he brings another kind of harmony to the island—playing trombone in the band Fat Tofu!

Jeremy’s story is a reminder that passions can intertwine, that music and soil, science and tradition, all have their place in building a resilient, sustainable future. Whether through food, knowledge, or music, he continues to cultivate life in every sense of the word.
