Rachelle Roper, Founder and Proprietor
Rachelle Roper was born in Leesburg, FL in 1978 and was raised in
the small town of Okahumpka, known for growing oranges, cattle and
watermelon. She is the youngest of three children that grew up learning
how to live off the land. Each year she helped plant, grow, harvest and
preserve the family garden. She also helped raise various livestock and
spent many hours hunting and fishing to help provide food for her
family. As a young child she became involved in 4-H and raised cattle
and swine that would be shown and sold in Lake and Orange County. Even
as a child she knew the importance of helping others and would donate a
portion of her earnings from her 4-H projects to feed families in need.
She grew up working in a local feed mill and cattle ranch called Lashers
and maintained several other jobs working in the agriculture industry
while in high school.
