About The Road Apple Company

Built Around Agriculture.
Built for Local.

We’re building a better way for farmers, agricultural businesses and local families to find each other, connect and support one another.

Why We Built This

We Think the Gap Is Too Big.

There are farms growing food, raising animals, running farm stands, hosting events and keeping agriculture moving every day. There are also families who want to support them.

The problem is that finding each other isn’t always easy. The Road Apple Company was created to bridge that gap by bringing local farms, food, agricultural businesses, events and resources together in one place.

Because supporting local shouldn’t be difficult.

Bridging the Gap

Connecting Farms, Food & People.

The Road Apple makes it easier to discover what’s being grown, raised, made and happening around you — and easier for the people behind local agriculture to be found.

Ellie

Founder & CEO / Chief Road Apple Wrangler

Ellie is an entrepreneur with more than 20 years of experience building a photography business before expanding into branding, marketing and digital development. With deep roots in agriculture and the Ocala community, she founded The Road Apple Company after recognizing a simple problem: local farms, food and agricultural businesses are often harder to find than they should be. Road Apple was created to help change that.

There’s a Story Behind the Horse

He’s more than a logo. The Road Apple horse represents agriculture, personality, connection, and a little bit of fun — a character dreamt up by Ellie from the very beginning.
