Love and Vegetables: From Pop-Up to Seed Purity

Welcome to Love and Vegetables, where the passion for fresh, organic produce and sustainable living comes to life through the journey of one man: Keith Kalmanowicz, known affectionately by many as "Seed." This is not just a business; it's a story of dedication, growth, and community, all rooted in the belief that everyone can enjoy the simple pleasure of homegrown food.

Our Story:

Love and Vegetables began with a humble dream. As a chef, Keith Kalmanowicz experienced the magic of fresh ingredients transforming meals into memorable experiences. This culinary passion sparked an idea: why not help others discover the joys of growing their own food? The journey started with a community pop-up café in Miami, where Keith and his team served vegan meals on a "pay what you can" basis. These events fostered a sense of community and shared values around sustainability and healthy eating.



In the early days, Keith organized pop-up dinners at Earth N' Us Farms in Little Haiti, Miami. These dinners were not only about serving delicious, plant-based meals but also about building a community. Attendees would donate either money or volunteer hours, making the events accessible to everyone. The atmosphere was always warm and welcoming, with meals prepared from freshly harvested ingredients grown right on the farm. Each dinner featured a multi-course tasting menu, often incorporating chakra-balancing themes and raw items to highlight the health benefits of plant-based foods [[❞]] [[❞]].



From these humble beginnings, Keith, or "Seed" as many have come to know him, has poured his heart and soul into growing Love and Vegetables. What started as a series of pop-up dinners using fresh, locally sourced ingredients has blossomed into a thriving e-commerce business. Keith's hands-on approach, deep knowledge, and unwavering commitment to quality have been the driving forces behind this growth.

Our Evolution:

Love and Vegetables has evolved through hard work, learning, and adaptation. Keith has embraced new technologies and trends, ensuring that the business stays relevant and continues to meet the needs of its growing customer base. Moving from simple seed sales to offering a wide range of gardening supplies, educational resources, and community support, Love and Vegetables has become a trusted name for gardeners of all levels.
