Food By The Word LLC | A Decade of Building, Learning, and Growing

Our Journey Begins

Every business has a starting point. What matters most is what happens after that beginning.

Food By The Word LLC was established in September 2016 to glorify God first and always, following Deuteronomy 14:3. Our simple focus is to provide quality food products while operating with integrity, consistency, and a commitment to serving people well. In 2017, we became licensed and ServSafe certified, laying the operational foundation that would support our future growth.

Evolution of Our Business

What began as a catering-focused business has evolved significantly over the years. Today, Food By The Word LLC has transformed into a diversified retail food products company. We have a growing e-commerce presence, an expanding consumer packaged goods (CPG) portfolio, and a developing restaurant and food service distribution platform.

As market conditions changed and customer needs evolved, we adapted our business model. This adaptation has allowed us to create greater value, broader reach, and stronger long-term sustainability.

Achievements and Milestones

In 2023, we officially secured our business certification as a Limited Liability Company (LLC). This step further strengthened our organizational structure and positioned the company for future opportunities. In 2025, we were honored to become a State of Indiana designated Buy Indiana Certified Vendor. This designation reinforces our commitment to supporting local commerce and contributing to the economic growth of our home state.

Looking back over the past decade, one thing is clear: growth is never accidental. It is the result of consistent effort, strategic decision-making, and a willingness to embrace innovation.

Innovating for the Future

Today, Food By The Word is actively innovating within the retail food and consumer packaged goods industries. We are developing a digital and e-commerce footprint that continues to expand. This footprint remains largely untapped, presenting significant opportunities for future growth. Our vision extends far beyond where we are today.

As part of that vision, we are leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and emerging technologies. These innovations improve operational efficiency, enhance customer experiences, streamline business processes, and create greater value for our customers. We believe technology should work for people, making everyday transactions faster, easier, and more effective.

Expanding Our Offerings

Our product offerings continue to grow each week. We partner with creators, artisans, and specialty product manufacturers from Indiana to Colorado and beyond. At the same time, we strengthen relationships with the trusted suppliers and partners who have supported our growth throughout the years. These long-standing partnerships allow us to maintain the quality, consistency, and reliability our customers expect.

The result is a growing marketplace of carefully selected products designed to serve families, businesses, restaurants, and consumers seeking quality products for everyday life.

Looking Ahead

The story of Food By The Word LLC is still being written. The first ten years were about establishing a foundation. The next ten years will focus on scaling that foundation, expanding our reach, creating new opportunities, and continuing to serve our customers with excellence.
