If Ricky Ortiz doesn’t end up playing in a Super Bowl, it would be a good idea to invite him to your Super Bowl party.
The Ravens’ undrafted rookie fullback has a second job as part-owner of a growing avocado farm and burgeoning guacamole business.
Ortiz’s orchard, named “Imperio” (Spanish for “empire”), is in Jalisco, Mexico and has more than 200,000 trees on 150 acres. Harvest is year-round and each tree produces about 200 to 250 avocados a year (40 to 50 million avocados annually).
“That’s a lot of guacamole, man,” Ortiz said on “The Lounge” podcast.
