Meet your local Farmer
Welcome Friends!
Meet Lisa and James, the visionary founders of Vitality Farms Company, whose journey began with a deep connection to southern Wisconsin and a dream that would bloom in the heart of Florida. It all started with Lisa’s childhood summers spent by the serene lakeside. Those long, sun-drenched days sparked a passion for nature and health that would follow her throughout life. Alongside James, her partner in both business and life, they decided to take that passion and transform it into something meaningful.
Though their roots are in Wisconsin, Lisa and James found themselves building something new in Lakeland, Florida—where the sun shines a little brighter, and the potential to grow is endless. With Lisa’s MBA and James’s rock-solid support, they set out to create Vitality Farms Company—a microgreen nursery and seed distribution business aimed at bringing fresh, nutritious superfoods to the community.
It wasn’t an easy leap. They both left behind careers in more traditional fields to follow their vision of a healthier future for families. What started as a small, humble operation has blossomed into a modern urban farm that serves both local businesses and health-conscious consumers.
Nestled in Lakeland’s vibrant community, Vitality Farms has become a hub for fresh, sustainable, and nutrient-packed microgreens. Lisa and James’s commitment to healthy living extends beyond their farm; they offer convenient grow kits, encouraging people to grow their own greens and experience the joy of nurturing their own food. It’s about more than just eating healthy—it’s about taking control of your wellness journey.
But it’s not just about the products—it’s about building a community. Vitality Farms is a place where health meets heart. With every seed planted, Lisa and James strive to cultivate a culture of care, sustainability, and collaboration. It’s that “special sauce” that makes their farm unique—the blend of passion, authenticity, and a deep love for the environment.
Together, Lisa, James, and their dedicated team are helping shape a healthier future for Lakeland’s residents, one microgreen at a time. They believe that everyone deserves access to fresh, wholesome food—and they’re on a mission to make that a reality.
Join them on their journey. Embrace health, nature, and community with Vitality Farms Company—a place where the future of food is growing, and so are you.
Our mission: to provide vegetable confetti to the everyday consumer and change the way people think about eating their veggies.
