Our Story

My love for food was genetic. My father, raised on a farm in OH, later to become VP of an international marketing firm, appreciated both the freshness and value of local farm food, while having an infatuation for the finer things in life such as high-end dining. My mother, also raised on a farm in OH, later became a recognized chef in the private yachting world. Likewise, having the same appreciation for the freshness of the farm, while also catering to the "sophistos" that required the best of the best.

Growing up in the small town of Davie, FL., just outside of Ft. Lauderdale and now residing in central FL, I took my fathers footsteps into becoming a sales & marketing executive, while also taking on my moms incredible talent for cooking. From both I gained an understanding of the value of local farm fresh foods with regards to the positive impacts on health, economy and environment for individual committees.

After extensive searching at farmers markets and online, I was only able to find great produce...no proteins (not local at least). So I continued my search and inevitably found exactly what I was looking for at Lake Meadows Naturals in Ocoee, FL (western outskirts of Orlando). This is a fully functional farm with live animals, a small farm-store-front and the nicest, knowledgeable owner and staff you could hope for. 

Having access to this quality of fresh food was a dream come true. The smells, the tastes, the textures...the culinary possibilities!!! I then introduced some of the products to friends and family back in southeast FL and the reaction was the same. I then came to realize that my "back-home" community should have access to the same on a regular basis as well. 

With some great support, I was able to develop a partnership with Lake Meadows in Ocoee, FL and Family Farms in Davie, FL to create Local's best Cuts and make this possible. An online store has been created and we are expecting to have a farm-store-front at Family Farms by October/November that will be filled with inventory to purchase every day. Until then, we will be taking online orders and making them available for pickup each weekend at Family Farms (weather permitting). 

We look forward to providing and improving the southeast Fl community with the highest quality Florida farm fresh foods and exceptional customer service. Your commitment to local shopping is greatly appreciated. Please visit us online and and share with your friends and family within the community.
