Fruitful Earth Farms - Lake City, FL

This review is long overdue! Our family is into clean organic eating. We were on a lookout for a local farm raised meat and found Fruitful Earth Farms. We placed an order online. The owners, Ana and Abe, reached out to us inviting us to visit the farm and pick up our order. We took them up on the offer and what a great experience it was! Most importantly, the meat they produce is of an excellent quality, fresh, organic, pasture raised and a wide variety. Our order was custom packed in an insulated mylar bag with our name printed on it. The beef and sausages are delicious, tender and flavorful. We are returning customers, coming back for more over and over again!

Delivery and service was great. I purchased a 1/6 cow deal from Fruitful Earth about a month ago. Unfortunately I have been very disappointed with the quality of the meat received. The butchery is sub par and many of the steaks have silver skin attached still. Every metric from a taste and quality standard for me is sub par.

I get better quality products for cheaper from Publix and Wards. Won't be ordering from them again.

Best beef ever!! I feel so fortunate to have this amazing farm 10 minutes from where we live. My partner and I strive to get the most ethical meat we can and were so happy we were able to plan a tour of the farm where our beef comes from. Ana is absolutely lovely and showed us how all of the cattle live on this gorgeous farm. We get all of our beef from her and it is absolutely delicious! All of their beef is dry aged so it's packed with flavor and not full of water. I can't recommend them enough.

It’s been such a pleasure to have Fruit Earth Farms in our lives. The quality of all their products are 2nd to none! Beginning with the all natural, pesticides & hormones free raising & grazing of the animals, the organic feed and grasses they consume show in the suburb marbling in the cuts of steaks! After tasting their 21 day dry aged 5 Star Steakhouse quality, we don’t eat any other beef. Even their quality ground beef is fantastic. My family and I are very lucky to have Fruitful Earth Farms as a part of our weekly dietary needs. I have been purchasing our meats from them for almost a year now with top notch customer service and next day delivery service, you can’t go wrong. I highly recommend you give them a try. They won’t disappoint, guaranteed. Ana, Abel and Gaby make us feel like a part of their family!

As we self-isolated in March and watched COVID spread in chicken and pork processing plants, we realized we didn’t know where our food was coming from and how safe it was. We also missed great quality beef that we would get in higher-end steak houses on our travels, like Capital Grille, that were a cut above the grocery store. So we ordered beef from six different delivery services, including three local farms, getting rib eye, New York strip, and ground beef (one mail order place even had ground Wagyu) to compare them. After a month of two of too much beef we had a clear consensus amongst the four of us - hands down, Fruitful Earth beef was the best. In fact, it was so good that our kids, who historically had been happy with an alternative to steak, started requesting their own. And even then Fruitful Earth provided - a Denver steak, a cut we really don’t see elsewhere that is small enough to give each child their very own steak. This solves nicely the “mommy and daddy don’t want to share” problem that also often happens when we are faced with excellent beef. The fact that it arrives at our door regularly, packed to withstand the Florida heat if we can’t deal with it immediately, is just gravy on the pot roast. Indeed, we won’t be going back to the grocery store for steak, especially because the prices per pound are very competitive, even beating most of the other local farms and specialty food stores (shh, don’t tell them that).

Or, more simply, as my five year old put it last night, “Best steak ever - can we have it again tomorrow?”

I can’t say enough! Amazing quality products. A tour of the farm and you can most definitely tell this family has poured the heart and soul into it! Thank you for the tour and looking forward to placing our next order soon!

Abel and Ana are fantastic and passionate about what they are doing and the product they deliver. I have had the great privilege to go to their farm and see first-hand how well they not only treat their animals but how they the respect the land. Just ask Abel about the dung beetles. He can spend hours talking about them. Their meat products are a staple at our home.

I don’t go anywhere else to buy beef. Everything from hot dogs, ground beef and steak is delicious. Highly recommend.
