Farm To Table

Sam Lash, Director of Operations/Co-Founder Sam developed his passion for hospitality by working in the industry for many years in Austin. After a five-year stint working in Michelin star restaurants in Chicago and San Francisco he decided it was time to return home and help mold Farm to Table into what it has become today. “Writing checks to the most hardworking and talented farmers and food artisans throughout Texas. Then bringing those products to our customers and being the connection from the farm to the chef.” Ready for a career change and intrigued by the possibility of bringing farm fresh products to restaurants and consumers, John Lash in 2008 founded Farm to Table with a shoestring budget and his wife’s old Chevy Suburban. Over the years the business has grown because of John’s passion for high quality and delicious products, his dedication to helping family farmers, and a natural ability to develop long lasting relationships with both the producers and customers. “Best part about working for Farm to Table? Easy. Writing checks to our hard-working family farmers. Providing the bridge to allow our customers to support family farmers and food artisans. And seeing the look on our customers face when they bite into the best tomato they’ve ever eaten.” Jody Delgado, Office Manager/Accounting Jody comes to Farm to Table with over 28 years of professional  accounting experience.  With a background in the construction industry Jody is now poised to take all of her valuable experience and apply it to the wholesale food industry. “I love making family out of friends and that’s exactly what happens at Farm to Table.  I love eating healthy and taking care of myself and that’s exactly what Farm to Table promotes for our entire community. Lastly I love numbers and it gives me a great sense of accomplishment to manage our numbers and keep the company moving forward.” Mauricio Reyes, Operations Manager/Purchaser Mauricio came to Farm to Table with over 15 years of experience in the wholesale food distribution industry.  Through his experience he brings an immense range of knowledge and know how with regards to every part of his job.  Through his leadership we’re not only learning from Mauricio but he’s also elevating our company to heights that it’s never been before.  We look forward to continuing to grow as a company with Mauricio leading the way for many years to come. “My favorite part about working for Farm to Table is being part of an organization that supports local farmers whose hard work supports the preservation of green spaces and valuable farm land.  Farmers and ranchers are the backbone of Texas, by supporting them we’re not only helping drive our local economy but also supporting the Texas economy as a whole.” Shane Haberkorn, Sales Representative Shane started with us as a delivery driver over 6 years ago.  By now he’s done nearly every job at Farm to Table and learned everything there is to know.  Shane transitioned into our sales rep role in the spring of 2025 with quite possibly the highest level of preparation and knowledge any of our sales reps have ever had.  The future is bright for Shane and all the customers he gets to interact with. “I love working at Farm to Table because it allows me to connect chefs and customers with farmers in our own community who care for the land, raise their animals on open pastures, and grow nutritious and beautiful food. There’s something so cool about eating at a restaurant and seeing local ingredients on the menu that I helped get there.”
