3. THE GEOGRAPHY OF FOOD PRODUCTION
Sanford is being rediscovered as an important tourist destination. The City’s main
asset is its historic and walkable downtown, located along the southern shore of Lake
Monroe. Once neglected, it is currently seen as an attractive investment location because of
its affordability and charm. Lower property values and new public investments have
attracted entrepreneurs to set up shop within the downtown area. Its brick building
architecture, wide sidewalks, decorative street lights, and waterfront views combine to
make a relaxing and unique atmosphere for visitors.
One of the main drivers of downtown Sanford’s renaissance is its thriving culinary
scene. The area is home to several critically-acclaimed, chef-driven, farm-to-table
restaurants such as the Tennessee Truffle and the Smiling Bison among others. This food
culture has helped to cement the idea that downtown Sanford is an important spot for
locals to visit. In fact, the Orlando Sentinel recently ran an article listing 15 reasons why
Sanford has Central Florida’s hottest food scene. Many of these downtown restaurants use
locally sourced produce, which helps to keep more dollars in circulation within the
community.
In order to continue stimulating the success of Sanford’s food scene, it is important to
recognize the different elements that comprise the region’s food system. This report
provides an overview of Seminole County’s food production system including agricultural
acreage, food production businesses, and food entrepreneurship infrastructure. This
inventory was produced using a variety of data sources including the Seminole County
Property Appraiser, the Infogroup business database, and the Florida Department of
Business Regulation, among others. These resources were then geocoded and mapped using
Geographic Information System (GIS) software. In addition to this asset mapping exercise,
the ECFRPC also prepared a short market analysis of some of the major food industries
found in Seminole County.

AGRICULTURAL LAND IN SEMINOLE COUNTY
To develop the agricultural land use layer, the ECFRPC used information from
the Seminole County Property Appraiser’s Office from March of 2018. As the land
taxing authority for the County, the Property Appraiser’s Office has the most
updated information on current land uses in the area. Each individual parcel in the
County is provided a code (referred to as the DOR code) that reflects the current use
of the land for taxing purposes. These codes are based on the land classification
guidelines set by the Florida Department of Revenue. Several factors are used to
determine this classification including quantity, size, condition of the property,
ownership, its present market value and income produced. For the purpose of
creating these agricultural use maps, the ECFRPC combined nearly 50 DOR codes
encompassing everything from crops, grazing land, and floriculture. A complete list
of these DOR codes is provided on Appendix 1.
Based on this information, Seminole County has 1,057 agricultural parcels that
comprise over 21,000 acres of land. Based on GIS calculations, this figure represents
about 11% of all county land. Unincorporated Seminole County is home to 90% of all
agricultural land, most of which is located in the eastern side of the County. The
cities of Sanford (646), Oviedo (353), and Winter Springs (21) contain another five
percent of agricultural acreage. The average size of Seminole County’s agricultural
parcels is 20 acres.
The County’s largest agricultural property is a 1,315 acre parcel owned by
Yarborough Ranches in the unincorporated community of Geneva. This is followed
by a 648 acre property owned by the Clonts and another 600 acre property owned
by the Big Oaks Ranch. All these properties are located in south east Seminole
County. It is also important to note that Seminole County has more than 40
agricultural parcels that are at least a 100 acres, which is surprising for an urban
county.
Ownership is also an important characteristic of agricultural land. Members of the
Clonts agricultural family own about 18 percent of the County’s agricultural land.
The City of Sanford owns another nine parcels located near Lake Jesup that comprise
over 1,600 acres. Yarborough Ranches is the third largest agricultural owner with a
single parcel.

5. Seminole County Rural Boundary
An important reason as to why the overwhelming majority of agricultural land
is found in the eastern part of the county is because of the county’s rural boundary. A
rural boundary is a geographical limitation to control urban sprawl. The intention is
to preserve the natural environment and protect biological diversity. Seminole
County established its Rural Boundary in 2004. The protected area begins on the east
coast of Lake Jessup and extends to Lake Harney and the University of Central Florida.
The vast majority of agricultural land within Seminole County is found within this
boundary.
Central Florida is experiencing high levels of growth and development.
Recently, the Legislature attempted to shrink the rural boundary. Proponents of the
bill highlighted the economic impact of the University of Central Florida and the need
for expanded housing to facilitate its growth.
Distribution of Agricultural Land by Type
Another way of analyzing agricultural land is by looking at acreage according
to the type of commodity produced. For the purpose of this analysis, the ECFRPC only
examined agricultural land used for food production. This excluded about 3,350 acres
of land used grow nursery plants and timber. Based on this criteria, Seminole
County’s agricultural land falls into three major land use categories: pasture, citrus,
and other crops. Based on acreage, pasture land is the largest agricultural land use. It
represents over 92% of all agricultural land within Seminole County. Citrus groves
and other crops account for another 8% of agricultural food uses. Seminole County
has nearly 900 acres dedicated to the cultivation of citrus fruit (orange, grapefruit,
and tangelos, among others). Clusters of citrus land are located in the northeast and
southeast corners of the County. Finally, the land use to grow produce is distributed
throughout Seminole County.

6. FOOD PRODUCTION ESTABLISHMENTS IN SEMINOLE COUNTY
The next step to complete this profile was to identify all Seminole County businesses
involved in the harvesting, processing, and distribution of food. For this assessment, the
ECFRPC mainly relied on Infogroup’s ReferenceUSAGov database. All businesses were selected
according to their industry type using the six-digit North American Industry Classification
System codes (see Appendix 1). This establishment information was then verified using the
internet and supplemented with data from the Seminole County Property Appraiser’s Office,
the Seminole County Extension Service’s farm list, and other sources. Based on this
methodology, the ECFRPC identified 48 food production facilities in Seminole County.
Food production facilities can be found throughout the county, but are mainly clustered
around cities. The only exception is farms, which are mostly located in unincorporated
Seminole County. Most of Seminole County’s food production establishments are processors,
which comprise 50% of all establishments. Farming operations account for 33% of all food
production establishments and food distributors account for another 16 percent. The next
pages discuss the characteristics of these food production facilities in more detail.
Farms
It was very difficult to confirm the total number of farms because most of these
operations. The ECFRPC was able to identify 16 farms. On average, these farms tend be small
operations employing an average of five people (Infogroup, 2017). These businesses are
engaged in growing food crops, raising cattle, and producing other animal byproducts such as
meat and eggs.
5
7. FOOD PROCESSING FACILITIES
This category includes all firms exclusively engaged in the manufacturing of
food or beverages. Establishments that process food strictly for retail purposes, such
as supermarkets and restaurants, were not included on this list. The ECFRPC
identified 24 food processing establishments in Seminole County. Nearly all of the
establishments are found within Seminole County’s municipal jurisdictions.
According to Infogroup, these food processing establishments employ over 400
individuals. While there are some large employers, 90% of Seminole County’s food
processing establishments are small businesses. To simplify this analysis, the
ECFRPC classified food processing establishments into three subcategories
according to the main type of product produced at their location. These are
Beverages, Bread and Pastries, and Other Food Products. These categories are
explained in more detail within the next pages and a complete list of NAICS codes
can be found on Appendix 2.
Bread and Pastries
This is the largest food processing subcategory based on the total number
establishments. It includes both retail and commercial (wholesale) operations.
According to Infogroup, the Bread and Pastries subcategory employs about 315
people. With 230 jobs, the largest employer within this subcategory is Father’s
Table Inc. Located in Sanford, this dessert manufacturer donates 50% of its profits to
a foundation that benefits local and international women’s and children’s
charities. The second largest firm is the Olde Hearth Bread Company, a wholesale
artisan bakery located in Casselberry. This bakery’s products are sold at several of
the region’s restaurants and farmers’ markets. According to Infogroup, this
establishment employs about 40 people.
6
8. Beverages
The Beverage subcategory is comprised of breweries and distilleries. For the
purpose of this analysis, the ECFRPC focused on those establishments that are not
part of a restaurant or bar, but may have a tasting room. According to Infogroup,
Seminole County has three establishments within this subcategory and all of them
are breweries. Independent craft brewers are becoming a popular and hip business
across the nation. According to the Brewers Association, these establishments
produce no more than 6 million barrels of beer and are independently owned.
Combined, these breweries employ roughly 45 people, and represent 10% of all the
County’s food processing jobs. In addition to these establishments, a new distillery
is close to opening in downtown Sanford. According to the Orlando Sentinel, the
Loggerhead Distillery is currently in discussion to open a 2,506 square foot facility
that would specialize in making artisanal spirits such as vodka, gin, aged rums, and
whiskey.
Other Food Products
This last subcategory includes six establishments that produce a variety of
food products. Most of these companies tend to be small and together employ about
70 people. The largest business of this subcategory is Chocolate Accents, a
confectioner, which employs about 18 people. The ECFRPC also identified a second
chocolate confectioner, a sugar packing company, a meat and game processor, a pre-
roasted and glazed nuts manufacturer, and a food co-packing facility that specializes
in producing sauces, soups, dressings, and cocktail mixers.

9. FOOD DISTRIBUTION ESTABLISHMENTS
For the purpose of this analysis, the ECFRPC only included distribution
businesses that have warehouse facilities in the Seminole County. These
establishments distribute fresh and packed grocery products that are manufactured
by other parties. According to Infogroup, there are eight food wholesale distribution
businesses within Seminole County that employ about 124 people. Most distribution
establishments are concentrated in southwest Seminole County. To simplify this
analysis, the ECFRPC divided food distribution businesses into three subcategories
according to the food items and lines distributed. These are Meat and Seafood, Fruits
and Vegetables, and General Groceries. These categories are explained in more detail
below and a complete list of NAICS codes can be found on Appendix 2.
Meat and Seafood, and Fruits and Vegetables
Establishments within the Meat and Seafood subcategory specialize in
distributing fresh and frozen meat and seafood and their by-products to restaurants
and retail establishments. This subcategory is comprised of four establishments that
employ nearly 70 people. Based on employment, the largest meat and seafood
distributors are Classic Deli Provisions and Deer Run Game and Poultry. Both
companies are located in Longwood. Classic Deli is a distributor of Boars Head deli
meat and cheeses. Deer Run specializes in supplying specialty and exotic meat
products to restaurants, hotels and resorts, country clubs, and other wholesale
businesses. The ECFRPC also identified one Fruits and Vegetables distributor, Todd’s
Quality Tomatoes and Wholesale Produce. This company services restaurants, six
school districts, and several military installations across Central Florida.
General Groceries
Establishments within the General Groceries subcategory distribute a variety of
packaged, frozen and canned foods to different types of clients. These three
establishments employ roughly 50 people, which represents 40% of all jobs within the
distribution sector. Seminole County’s General Grocery distributors supply desserts
and other confections, Indian food products, and other packaged food staples to stores
and restaurants across the region.

10. Other Food System Establishments
It is important to note that Seminole County is also home to the corporate
offices of three large food companies. The largest company is Duda, which owns over
45,000 acres across the United States. Two of the company’s subsidiaries specialize
in harvesting fresh produce and raising cattle. Another company is Village Farms
International, which has its USA headquarters located in Heathrow. This is one of
the largest producers of hydroponic tomatoes, bell peppers, and cucumbers in North
America. Finally, Seminole County is also home to the corporate office of Chinese
Food Solutions Inc., which provides fully-prepared Asian cuisine to restaurants,
casinos, cafeterias, schools, colleges and universities, hospitals, military installations,
and retail establishments across the country.
FOOD PRODUCTION INFRASTRUCTURE
Food entrepreneurs benefit from having infrastructure and facilities that
support their operations. For example, farmers’ markets allow farmers and other
small food vendors to sell directly to consumers. The ECFRPC identified six farmers’
markets locations within Seminole County including Lake Mary, Oviedo, Winter
Park, and Sanford (downtown and Goldsboro).
Despite recent changes to local cottage food laws, most food processors are
required to operate from a commercial kitchen or commissary. These spaces are
vital for small food entrepreneurs such as caterers, mobile vendors, bakers, and
related firms. Based on information from the Florida Department of Business and
Professional Regulation (DBPR), the ECFRPC identified two commercial kitchens/
commissaries in Seminole County. This number is comprised of locations that are
rented by more than one business, thus excluding restaurants that provide catering
services. The Central Florida Commissary in Oviedo is owned and operated by DUO
58, a non-profit organization that uses its earnings to support impoverished children
in Haiti. Based on DPBR files, this commissary is currently used by more than 40
food entrepreneurs. A second commercial kitchen is located in Longwood. Owned
by a catering company, the Artisan’s Kitchen commissary currently has five tenants.
Florida Cottage Food Law
In 2011, the Florida Legislature enacted House Bill 7209, allowing individuals to manufacture, store and
sell certain “cottage food” products without obtaining a food permit from the Florida Department of
Agriculture and Consumer Services. A cottage food product is defined as a non-hazardous food item
such as breads, cakes, cookies, candies, jams, jellies and fruit pies made in an unlicensed (home)
kitchen. This definition excludes other food products such as meat and fish products, canned fruits and
vegetables, pet treats, and milk and dairy products. Moreover, this regulation was recently updated to
allow cottage food sales to a maximum to $50,000 per year (gross). Cottage food operators can sell
directly to the consumer from their home, farmers markets, flea markets or their own roadside stand.
Wholesale distribution and internet/phone sales are not allowed by the law. The products must be
properly packaged and labeled as cottage foods and cannot be sampled for tasting. Finally, all cottage
food operations must comply with all applicable county and municipal laws and ordinances regulating
the preparation, processing, storage and sale of cottage food products. More information about the
Florida Cottage Food Law can be found using the link below;

11. FOOD PRODUCTION MARKET ANALYSIS
The past couple of years have seen the city of Sanford rise as an important
culinary destination for the region. The success of its farm-to-table food scene is
partly predicated on the strength of the County’s food production sector. Local
restaurants like the Tennessee Truffle prefer to use locally grown fruits and
vegetables in their kitchens. Some of this produce is harvested from the County’s
16 farms. While there are development pressures, most of the County’s 21,000
acres of farmland are protected by a Seminole County’s Rural Boundary
designation. Also, several processors like Old Hearth Bread Company also supply
their products to local restaurants and hotels. Fostering these types of connections
can help to generate more jobs and increase economic development opportunities
within the community.
To strengthen the role of Seminole County’s food production sector, the
ECFRPC prepared a short market analysis that discusses the major trends
influencing four food production industries: vegetable agriculture, bread and
pastries, craft beer breweries, and food distribution.

12. Vegetable Farming
This industry is comprised of establishments that raise crops in open fields or
under and under cover including tomatoes, lettuce, onions, and bell peppers, among
others. Over 90% of these operations are individually owned and operated. Vegetables
are considered high-value crops making vegetable growers the most profitable
operators in the agriculture sector. The price of vegetables has increased annually at a
3.8% growth rate. Fresh vegetables generally sell for more than double the price of
processed vegetables thus yielding higher profit margins. In the case of organic
produce, the mark up prices can be even higher. While supermarkets and grocery
stores is the largest market segment for vegetable crops, establishments within the
food services sector such as restaurants and hotels are sourcing most of their products
directly from traditional farmers. The rise of farm-to-table restaurants is part of this
trend.
While Americans are more cognizant about nutrition and healthy lifestyle
choices, the per capita consumption of vegetables has continued to decrease
marginally. While the cost of some industry inputs like fertilizer have continued to
down, the rising labor costs, the increasing value of the dollar, and international
competition remain as important threats to the industry. If the current trends continue,
the industry’s revenues will increase marginally over the next five years. According to
IBISWorld, the industry’s 2012-2017 annualized growth rate was 0.4%, and is expected
to rise to 0.6% over the next five years.
Hydroponic operations, those that grow plants using mineral nutrient solutions
in water without soil, is a higher growing segment within vegetable farming. The
majority of these farms sell directly to consumers. Between 2012 and 2017, the
industry grew at an annualized rate of 3.4% and is expected to continue to grow at a
marginal annualized rate of 0.6% for the next five years. The success of hydroponic
enterprises hinges on their ability to supply a higher quality product year-round when
compared to traditional farms. While hydroponic facilities grow a variety of fruits and
vegetables, tomatoes comprise 50.4% of all industry outputs. Other important crops
are cucumbers (9.7%), fresh herbs (8.9%), and lettuce (7%).

Vegetable Farming Market Segmentation
Hydroponic Farms Products and Services
13. Bread and Pastries
According to IBISWorld, the Bread Production Sector industry is comprised of
companies that manufacture bread and baked goods such cakes, muffins and croissants.
This industry generated more than $41 billion in revenue last year and is forecasted to
have an annual growth of 0.7% during the next five years (IBISWorld, 2017). While the
industry’s largest product segment is fresh and frozen bread, the increasing demand for
healthier products has driven some operators to focus on developing more premium
varieties of their products such as whole grain, all-natural, and gluten-free products. One
sector that has benefited from this shift is commercial bakeries that specialize in
producing fresh artisan breads and pastries. These products are often made by hand
using all-natural ingredients and fermented for a longer period of time and thus deemed
to be fresher and healthier by consumers. At the national level, local bakeries (direct to
consumer) only represent about 8.3% of the industry’s revenue, but it is the highest
growing market segment. This group includes a variety of operators including specialty
bakeries, cake shops, coffee shops, and gourmet cafes. Another burgeoning market
segment is food service and institutional customers. This one is comprised of restaurants
(full-service and fast food), food service contractors, major institutions, and the
hospitality industry. This is an important category for Central Florida because of the
region’s large tourism industry. Supermarkets and grocery stores still account for more
than half of the Bread Production industry’s revenue, however, this market share is
expected to decline over the next five years due to changing consumer preferences.
Craft Breweries
Originally started by hobbyists and home brewers, the craft breweries industry is
comprised of facilities that produce fewer than six million barrels of beer per year and are
at least 75% owned by a private individual. Its growth has been driven by various factors
including the relaxation of alcohol distribution and retail laws, the gradual shift of
consumer preferences towards premium beer brands, and the industry’s low barriers to
entry as equipment and input costs remain low. Craft beers tend to be produced in small
batches and are mostly consumed locally. Since 2007, the industry’s revenue has grown
more than 300% with the total number of operations increasing at an annualized rate of
17.9%. IBISWorld forecasts that the craft breweries revenue will continue to grow at an
annualized rate of 1.3%, reaching $6.5 billion by 2022.

14. Food Wholesalers
Operators within this industry specialize in distributing a variety of fresh and
packaged food staples to grocery stores and restaurants. While there are several
large national operators, most firms are highly decentralized. This analysis focuses
on discussing the prospects of produce and general grocery wholesalers.
Rising disposable incomes have increased the purchase of fresh produce from
grocery stores and restaurants. Industry revenues are mainly dependent on the
increasing price of fresh fruits and vegetables and demand from supermarkets and
grocery stores. While in most cases produce wholesalers are able to pass price
increases to retailers and consumers, profit margins are expected to remain slim
(IBISWorld, 2017). This industry is expected to have a 1.9% annual growth rate
over the next five years. Moreover, large grocery chains like Walmart are opening
their own distribution centers, thus bypassing traditional wholesale operations.
According to IBISWorld, the general grocery wholesale industry is forecasted
to have a slightly higher annual growth rate (2.1%). The growing population will be
a major demand determinant to drive growth. However, changing consumer
preferences are expected to have a higher impact on future demand. Because of
health reasons, American households are currently favoring perishable foods
(produced) over canned, frozen, and packaged goods.
Success within the food wholesaling industry is predicated on the firm’s
ability to control and deliver their available stock to clients, the facility’s proximity
to key markets, their contact with suppliers and retailers, and their adeptness to
serve clients with different needs. Community’s interested in attracting new
wholesale businesses need to have adequate sites and transportation
infrastructure. In the case of Sanford, the community has roughly 541 acres of
vacant industrial land. While the average parcel size of these industrial sites is
about three acres, most of these properties are clustered in the northwest and
south-east corners of the city. The northwest cluster has nearly direct access to
Interstate-4 and the southeast cluster is in very close proximity to the Orlando
Sanford International Airport.

15. POTENTIAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR GOLDSBORO
Downtown’s burgeoning restaurant scene could serve as a
catalyst for the creation for new economic development
opportunities for Sanford. To take full advantage of this opening, the
City should focus on attracting a diversity of food production
businesses that can complement these farm-to-table eateries. These
uses include vegetable farms, processors (craft breweries, artisan
and wholesale bakeries), and food wholesalers. In order to facilitate
this process, some of these food uses might need to be incorporated
into the City’s zoning code and land use regulations. On the other
hand, some of these complementary activities are probably going to
be located outside of downtown Sanford. Therefore, it is necessary
to identify the role that adjacent neighborhoods will play in
supporting downtown’s restaurant hub.
Located about a mile from downtown Sanford, the Historic
Goldsboro community has been working for the past two years on a
neighborhood revitalization plan. One of the proposed strategies is
to build a shared commercial kitchen in the area as there are many
food entrepreneurs living within the community. This new facility
could complement the downtown food scene in a variety of ways.
For one, it could serve as a processing center for restaurants that
need to outsource specific ingredients and dishes such as desserts.
On the other hand, the kitchen could also function as a business
incubator for start up food businesses. Goldsboro is currently home
to a successful farmers’ market whose vendors already supply fresh
food to downtown restaurants like the Tennessee Truffle. The
shared kitchen could provide a space for these food entrepreneurs to
expand their operations and eventually help them move to a brick
and mortar location. Finally, the community currently has several
vacant parcels where urban agriculture operations, food processors,
and distributors could locate. All these ideas will be discussed in
more detail in the final deliverable of this project.
