ABOUT US:

Naked Farmer is built on a mission to build a better food system by connecting farmers to community. We build seasonal recipes based on what’s growing in our region and know farmers on a first-name basis. We wore born in the global pandemic, pivoting the entire company to get fresh food from farm to door at a time when real food was flying off the shelves at the grocery store. Since then, we’ve built a culture of resilience, and transparency through our open book management, profit-sharing plans, and dedication to telling the story behind the farmers who grow our local food supply. Our mission is to build a better food system, one locally sourced meal at a time.

We’re entering a period of expansion, as we open in new cities and use the platform we’ve built for more transparency around sourcing, cooking, and investing in more regional food supply for farmers, communities and chefs. We presently operate 5 restaurants in Tampa Bay Miami, Florida and are working on opening 6 additional units in the next 18 months.

And did we mention free Naked Farmer for all employees? We recommend the sweet potatoes.

Let’s build the future of food together.
