OUR ROOTS
How Nourishing Food For Thought Came To Be
In 2006, the original idea was to use this vast space to grow palm trees. However, in our founder Suzie Dudas' search for raw dairy and pastured, sustainably-raised livestock, she came up short. She couldn't find anyone in the area who was producing the kind of food she wanted to feed her family - clean, nutritionally dense, soy-free, and non-GMO.
​
She began to wonder - where did that iconic glass bottle of milk go? What happened to those local dairies? Suzie wanted to trust where her food came from, and how it was raised. So she bought a cow.
​
​“After a while, we were producing more milk than we knew what to do with. We started to give it away to friends, then to friends of friends, then soon enough, we were selling our raw milk, eggs, butter, and soaps throughout the community.”​
​
“Eventually, we decided to expand our focus to our nonprofit educational outreach - and so Nourishing Food for Thought was born.” In addition to providing clean, wholesome food to the Jupiter community (and beyond), NFFT began our true mission of empowering people to grow their own food, and providing them with the resources and skills they need to make the move from consumers to producers.
