Local Fare Farm Bag South has moved its services even farther south of its home base in Bunnell, opening up a new delivery service in Ormond Beach.
Former chef Bryant Loeffler started the company after working for years at an organic farm-to-table restaurant in Savannah, Georgia. At the restaurant, he would design entrees based on the organic produce he was given. He started the company to give more people access to the fresh produce.
Now, every week, Loeffler uses his chef skills to suggest recipes using the produce of the week. These recipes are included as part of the company’s produce bags, which are delivered to the door of their customers every week. Much of the produce is picked by Loeffler himself at a variety of local farms; the deliveries are made to clients within 24 hours of picking.
Loeffler is passionate about organic foods and considers many of the added ingredients in processed food to be unhealthy.
“Nowadays, it’s all about fast and convenience,” he said. “In order to have it that way, the food is filled with preservatives.”
He believes that healthy, organic eating habits can reverse disease.
“Getting the kids to eat vegetables is a huge response we get from the customers,” said his coworker, Laura Gay.
Loeffler even teaches his clients to enjoy vegetables with recipes like jalapeño creamed corn and panzanella, or Tuscan bread salad.
“Our main thing is we are a culinary experience and not just delivering food,” Loeffler said.
According to localfarefarmbagsouth.com, delivery is avaialble to St. Augustine, Elkton, Palm Coast, Flagler Beach, Ormond Beach, Bunnel, Daytona Beach and Port Orange. Call 627-8936.
