We are passionate about the source and taste - and we treat our farmers and suppliers like family.

Our farmers and vendors are the absolute heartbeat of the swamp, and we couldn't do what we do without them! We're super lucky to work with such an amazing group of vendors. We take pride in the impact we have made and continue to make in our local food community, and are forever grateful to our suppliers, customers, and staff for supporting us all the way. When you shop with us, you can feel good knowing you are supporting local farmers and businesses.

Why should you eat local and organic?

When it comes to sourcing, our top priority is sourcing from local farmers and food vendors using organic, sustainable, and ethical practices.

Why Local? Knowing and supporting our farmers and food makers is our top priority. We work hard to source from them, promote them, and we are super transparent in our sourcing - you can find our farms constantly shouted out on our store signage, social media, newsletters, and all communications. We want you to know their faces, know their stories, and we want to provide those positive vibes you get from knowing who you’re supporting when you buy local. We also want you to have the satisfaction of keeping our dollars in our communities, rather than in the pockets of the corporate greed so often associated with industrialized food businesses.

Knowing how your food was grown, who’s growing and making it, who is profiting off it it (is it your neighbor, or is it a giant corporation that exploits workers in faraway lands?), and knowing that it as exceptional taste and quality is important to us, and equally important is for us to share that story with you!

We believe in the power of local and organic produce, and there are so many reasons why you should too! For starters, it tastes better than anything you'll find at a conventional supermarket, and it's not been sitting on a truck for days or weeks on end. Plus, when you eat local and organic, you're giving back to your community and supporting local farmers - it's a win-win. When you shop with us, you'll get to know our farmers, vendors, and staff on a personal level, and we promise you'll come to trust us like family. We'd never stock something on our shelves that we don't believe in, so you can always shop with confidence knowing you're getting the best of the best.

We strive to develop relationships with our farmers, vendors, and staff, and we hope you will too. Thank you for choosing to support our local community and farms!
