History
In 2013, Jen and Tim Curci bought a ragged piece of coastal Florida land with one mission in mind--build a farm in the heart of Tampa Bay and serve delicious farm-to-table food to our community. After breaking ground, the Curcis quickly learned that the difficult road ahead would need to be built upon sustainable practices in order to bring their dream into fruition. Undeterred by saltwater intrusion and an abundance of food and plant waste, Jen and Tim kept sustainability in the heart of every decision they made. Although with a little help from their partners at USF, Jen and Tim Curci produced a flourishing farm model that they wished to share with everyone. And so in 2020, the Fat Beet Foundation was born. Our mission is to feed people food with integrity in a beautiful setting and educate all on how to eat well without destroying the land.
