Why Buying Local Produce Supports Your Restaurant and the Central Florida Community

As a restaurant owner or chef, the quality of your ingredients is at the heart of every dish you serve. At DTI Produce, we partner with Central Florida farms to deliver fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables directly to restaurants that care about flavor, nutrition, and sustainability.

Choosing a local produce supplier isn’t just a culinary decision, it’s a strategic move that benefits your business and the community around it.

1. Local Produce Delivers Superior Freshness and Flavor

Produce that’s grown nearby is harvested at peak ripeness and delivered quickly, often within 24–48 hours. That level of freshness translates directly into better flavor, texture, and plate presentation.

Whether you’re serving a crisp house salad, crafting seasonal entrées, or adding fresh garnishes, locally sourced ingredients elevate the overall quality of your menu and keep guests coming back.

2. Meet Growing Customer Demand for Farm-to-Table Dining

Today’s diners are more informed than ever and they care where their food comes from. Customers are seeking out restaurants that prioritize sustainability, transparency, and fresh, local ingredients.

By highlighting your use of locally sourced produce, you can attract health-conscious and environmentally minded guests, while differentiating your brand in a competitive dining landscape.

3. Stay Seasonal, Creative, and Cost-Effective

DTI Produce makes it easy to access a rotating selection of seasonal fruits and vegetables from nearby farms. This gives your kitchen team the opportunity to:

  • Create exciting, limited-time dishes
  • Align your menu with what’s freshest and most flavorful
  • Control costs by buying in-season ingredients at better value


Seasonal sourcing supports innovation while maintaining consistency in quality.

4. Reliable, Personalized Service from a Trusted Local Supplier

  • Timely, consistent deliveries
