Owen Native Foods

ONF seeks to provide the freshest, top quality, and 100% native specialty produce to discerning individuals, chefs, brewers, grocery stores, and distributors. Because we focus on growing native species, our produce is naturally immune to pests and other diseases so we do not have to use chemicals when growing our food. Further, our produce has excellent nutritional values, which often far exceed levels found in other fruits and vegetables. We specialize in super foods such as the West Virginia Pawpaw. We harvest our produce at their natural peak ripeness in a sustainable manner and bring the seasonal varieties to the consumer within 24 hours so that peak flavor and nutrition is achieved. Our growing line of native species reinvigorates the palate and provides food lovers, organic grocery stores, and fine chefs with diverse and exciting super fruits and vegetables.

Our vision is to build a coalition of local, small scale, organic farms that sustainably cultivate native, wild, and edible super foods for regional sale and consumption. ONF uses best agri-business practices employed by the USAID in developing countries around the world to maximize economic returns to areas where other crops and industry have proven unprofitable. This allows both individuals and small farms to earn competitive wages even in economically depressed regions. Our business is on the cutting edge of a fast growing agricultural market revolution and continues to redefine what is viable. We are identifying, cultivating, marketing, growing, and delivering to market highly nutritious, organic, non-GMO, native species of produce. This form of agriculture seeks to maximize the inherit qualities of native species, which require little to no chemicals and minimal manipulation of the native landscape to naturally achieve profitable yields of boutique and exotic fruits and vegetables.
