My name is Sara and welcome to Sara’s Organic Eats (S.O. Eats for short). I am very happy you found me as I can’t wait to let you in on all things organic. I have adopted an organic lifestyle since I was 18. I am a native South Floridian living in the Fort Lauderdale area. (Us natives are hard to come by!)

At just 5 years old, I was fascinated with eating healthy, and I constantly asked my Grandma, “Is this healthy?” before everything I ate. In addition, my best friend and I were the only 6 year old girls who would ask our moms if we could have a large fruit bowl instead of junk food when we were on play dates. We obviously were not the typical 6 year olds. To my mom’s advantage, unlike most kids at that age, I would eat my broccoli or “trees” as I used to call it without her forcing me.

Even with my interest in health at a young age, it was not until I was 18 that I began on this organic journey and started to slowly change my lifestyle. However, my organic interests did not fully skyrocket until I moved to Orlando, Florida to finish studying for my hospitality management degree when I was 20 years old. As a result, I would venture to mainly Whole Foods Market, The Fresh Market, Publix, and local organic markets where I would spend hours browsing and studying different products. In fact, I think I studied more about organics than I did about the hospitality industry. I also think I visited Whole Foods Market more than I visited my college library. Even on my days off, I did extensive research on the organic industry and kept up with the latest news and trends. During my senior year of college, I took a class called Nutrition for Food Service and that is when I said, this is exactly the industry I want to thrive in. Sadly, my school did not have a whole nutrition program, as I would have unquestionably changed my major despite it being my senior year. In the end, I graduated in spring of 2013 with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Hospitality Management from the University of Central Florida. But longing for more, I decided to follow my other true passion once I completed my degree.

From working in various organic entities, attending many natural/organic conventions, and continuing on this path in pursuing my passion, I decided to start a website to let others in on all things organic. I believe that there is so much information to share with everyone and who better to do that then someone who has a strong passion and dedication to the whole organic industry. I also wanted to bring a young vibe and let others know that organics are not all about Quinoa, Kale, and Tofu. You can think of me as the modern day organic girl who does not deprive herself and still eats everything (yes including cupcakes!!) with all organic/non-gmo ingredients. I will guide you all on how you can switch over to an organic lifestyle which is much easier than it seems. There are many aspects to this industry that I think people wanting to make this change would not know if someone did not inform them before. That is where I come in! 🙂

I strive to connect with all of you and inspire you to try something new and live a more organic lifestyle.

If you have any questions feel free to ask. Don’t worry, I don’t bite, unless you are an organic cupcake or something! Thank you for letting me share my journey and experiences with you.

Love,

Sara, “S.O. Eats”

  1. Hi Sara,

    This is Michelle. I am going to connect you with Dr. Ivel Frietas, who owns Leaf It Up on the beach right next to Margaritaville at Johnson Street. Please check it out, as I hope to create a win-win for each of you. Also, my friend will be visiting soon, and she only eats organic. Do you know anything about Sushi Thai on the Broadwalk? Do you recommend any restaurants in the Hollywood area?
    Thank you.

  2. I was driving down griffin road when you stopped at a red light next to me at anglers ave. I’m in transition of going full vegetarian. I’ve always choose what I thought was healthy, until My mother started fighting breast cancer . And you realize wow there’s a attack at this that’s so simple but discipline is the exercise that hurts the most. After visiting her cardiologist one day my life was finally put to perspective of a healthy diet. Basically food has two brackets; there’s acid and there’s alkaline. He went on to say the top four richest men in Forbes are vegetarian. I’m interested in talking with you Charles

    1. Hi Charles,
      I am so happy you saw me driving and reached out. That is so fantastic that you are in transition of going full Vegetarian. There comes a point in our life where a wake up call happens. It is either a result of something that happens to us or something that happens to someone close to us. That is pretty much what happened to me with why I went organic 8 years ago and fell in love with the organic life. Please contact me via email sarasorganiceats@gmail.com and we will talk further.
