Ricky Naas
Originally from East London, South Africa, Ricky also goes by the name of “NASCAR”. While in South Africa, he spent the major of his career in steel works and construction. He has been with Berning Farms for six years starting back in the 2019 timeframe. His current responsibilities include spreading fertilizer, helping with harvest, servicing the machinery, mowing, and anything else he is asked to do.
A favorite activity of Ricky’s on the farm is operating the grain cart, which is how he got his nickname “NASCAR”. It is Ricky’s nature to be organized, neat, and he views himself as a cool, calm, and collected guy no matter what the challenge or task is. He has a bucket list item of one day visiting Israel and an overall personal goal of being a bit more settled with his family in the future. He is married to Zelda and they are parents to “Kayla” who also works at Berning Farms and his other daughter Dene’. In his spare time, he enjoys working out and admits he sometimes likes to just “chill” when time allows.
