Specialty Food America! Inc. began its corporate life in Oct of 1997 as a food brokerage company. During this time the website was being developed as an adjunct marketing arm to the on-the-road and face-to-face reality of being a food broker. In 2000 an initial step into e-commerce and as a web magazine refocused the company to the point where you see it today. Though a small company it has the input of many specialty food companies, trade organizations, consumers, growers, allied support companies and agencies.

Specialty Gardens America is an operating subsidiary of Specialty Food America! Inc.

COMPANY OWNERSHIP
Tom Marshall is the owner of Specialty Food America! Inc. In 1986 a  second mid-life career change placed Tom squarely in the dynamic food business.

A 1986 graduate of the New York Restaurant School / New School for Social Research Tom worked in several restaurants in the Annapolis area including The Maryland InnHarry Brownes, Dominiques and The Chart House.

Tom volunteered for a Trans-Atlantic sailboat crossing where the first leg was the Bermuda Race. During the second leg to the Azores the boat was sailed  by three individuals including Tom who doubled as cook. Good food is a must for such a trip and the feeling was that food was really good - especially the fresh bread!  The boat picked up critically needed equipment and one additional crew in the Azores and sailed on to England. The overall trip took two months.

In 1997 Tom returned to Kentucky where he created an herb garden similar in design to the one located at the National Arboretum in Washington. As an experienced gardener he has most recently added a second website - www.specialtygardensamerica.com .

He considers Nashville, Tennessee a significant inspirational food resource. He flies out of Nashville primarily on Southwest. This year has seen departures to San Francisco, New York and San Antonio in search of new food ideas. Atlanta is drivable - sorry Southwest!
