Choosing the Right Farmers
The general decision-making when it comes to choosing farmers to work with at LMB is quite personal and based on trust within the community. We usually get our clientele and customers through word of mouth and from our food network. Everything is about communication with business; if we create a new variation of a tea drink, we often consult the food network we already have. This way, we are then able to work with farmers who are like-minded and who are willing to deliver quality produce.

Seasonal and Diverse Ingredients
As the seasons change, so do our ingredients and menu here at LMB, which in essence provides our cafe with a robust, dynamic, versatile and rich menu. I would like to give a shoutout to Hamm’s Orchid, anyone reading this right now, just know Hamm’s Orchid is arguably the epitome of quality peaches in Texas! Many of the ingredients we use to prepare our products are sourced locally here in North Texas such as lavender, strawberries and of course peaches. We serve only the best and freshest produce available from the farms in our area to our customers :)
Why Hamm's Orchid and Profound Foods?
The choice for the particular farms, well, as I mentioned LMB focuses mainly on quality and reliability. Hamm’s Orchid as aforementioned is just one of the many spots here in North Texas, as a business owner, you have got to keep it up with Texas and locals, the farm is revered by many and the produce is of impeccable quality, this is a good fit for our cafe. In addition to this we also work closely with Profound Foods, as they serve various markets, cafes and restaurants in North Texas, they specialize in hydroponics, land crops and distribution which proves their credibility.

Supporting the Local Community
With this blog guys I just wanted to exhibit our genuine intention to support the local farmers and help society in the best way possible to the best of our aptitude. You know I thought about what made us want to support the local community and here is what I gathered from my cogitations:
Firstly it's local, secondly the community and thirdly we just detest big corporations and businesses who poison people for the sake of profits only. These days I could argue that we are essentially being fed 3-D printed food, it's horrid and mortifying. Sourcing food locally is based on the creed and trust that fresh locally sourced food is better than anything coming from a business who is precarious about where the produce arrives from.
At the end of the day, we are a little business but our asset is that we have more versatility and can cover the gaps with greater velocity than the big companies. Only difference is we do not possess as large of a capital, however with your help and support we will surely get there! I hope you enjoyed today's reading, see you on the next one!
