About the company

A Florida kitchen for Dixie County.

We are in the startup phase: papers filed, kitchen drawings on the table. The work is to feed people well and leave the county stronger than we found it.

Why we started

Ish's Concessions and Catering LLC exists to put affordable, delicious, healthy meals on tables in Dixie County and the towns around it. We buy from local Florida small businesses whenever we can, with a standing preference for non-GMO and non-bioengineered ingredients.

We are currently based in Taylor County, Florida while we finish securing the property in Old Town, Dixie County. Catering, delivery, bakery, and the trailers are how we serve the counties around that home.

The long-term picture is a community-oriented business: mobile food trucks for local events, catering for groups of up to thirty, and family services like bounce-house rentals for birthday parties. Phase one is simpler. Get the kitchen approved. Start cooking.

We also want the work itself to stay here — hiring from the counties we serve and partnering with local nonprofits that already know who needs a meal, a job, or a Saturday event.

How we cook

Local first

We buy from Florida small farms and shops in the communities we serve whenever we can.

Non-GMO when possible

Priority on non-GMO and non-bioengineered ingredients, without pretending the supply chain is perfect.

Jobs close to home

The point is not just plates. It is work, training, and food that belongs to Dixie County.

Sound local money

We proudly accept Florida Goldbacks to keep value circulating in the towns we cook for.

Looking ahead

A table for thirty, wherever the party is.

Catering for groups of up to thirty is for the gathering itself — a hall, a yard, a church, a reunion. The trucks and trailers take that same food to fairs, ball fields, and church grounds.
