About Us

Farm Stores was founded in 1935 in Miami Beach Florida, as Land O’ Sun Dairies, Inc. – a manufacturing operation producing high quality dairy products for the South Florida market. Farm Stores has a reputation of providing superior customer service and high-quality products.

In 1957, Farm Stores drive-thru outlets were created as direct full-service retail outlets for the dairy operation.

In 2007, Farm Stores purchased Gardner’s Markets in a transaction intended to provide both companies with the advantages of having combined operations. Farm Stores saw an opportunity to leverage these strengths to grow and improve each distinct market channel. The strength of Farm Stores, which quickly carried over to Gardner’s – lies in the Farm Stores Vision: To save families time, so they can do the things they like to do.

Farm Stores mission is to offer all customers the ultimate shopping experience each time they visit any one of our stores. We continue the tradition of being dedicated to quality and service as well as growth and innovation. Farm Stores is shaping a bright future by taking advantage of the market need of time-starved grocery shoppers for a fast, well priced and convenient grocery service by offering the added-time savings benefit of online ordering with Farm Stores iExpress.
