Fit Farm Donates $275,000.00 of Wellness & Fitness Gifts at the 2019 South Beach Wine & Food Festival

    NASHVILLE, TN, March 08, 2019 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Fit Farm is the nation's premier retreat that has all the aspects to address your wellness, from HIIT boot camps and pure fitness programs to wellness retreats – there is a product for everyone. We have a twelve –zoned adult playground that caters to so many styles of activity, as well as the nation's first Permanent 5K Obstacle Course with lodging. With all of this at our fingertips, we strive to #passfitnessforward at every moment we can seize. The Food Network & Cooking Channel's South Beach Wine & Food Festival (SOBEWFF®) seemed a perfect opportunity to do just that.

Through our friends at GBK Productions in Los Angeles, we were invited to present the participating Celebrity Chefs, Actors and Media of the festival with a gift of wellness and fitness, and we did just that! They all received a VIP Stay at Fit Farm, valued at $4,000.00 each to help them make time for themselves, and reset their pace for life. Simultaneously, The Chaplin School of Hospitality at Florida International University [FIU] received donations of the same for their Online Auction and their signature dinner's Silent Auction hosted by their President and Deans. A stellar event to be showcased at.

"As the Director of Communications for Fit Farm, I was ecstatic to find out that we had the opportunity to donate to an event that would directly benefit FIU, as that is my alma mater and I am a proud active alumna. So it was a no-brainer for me to get Fit Farm involved in the festival and be a push behind the fundraising efforts," stated Lia Head.

Chefs gifted were those such as Marcus Samuelson, Guy Fieri, Robert Irvine, Anne Burrell, The Voltaggio Brothers, Katie Lee, Chef GZ, Bobby Flay and Martina McBride to name just a couple. The Food Network & Cooking Channel South Beach Wine & Food Festival (SOBEWFF®) is a national, star-studded, five-day destination event showcasing the talents of the world's most renowned wine and spirits producers, chefs and culinary personalities. The Festival benefits FIU's Chaplin School of Hospitality & Tourism Management, where each year, more than 1,000 students and volunteers gain invaluable real-world experience with the Festival – which serves as an interactive educational platform for the future leaders of the hospitality industry. To date, the Festival has raised more than $28 million for the School. We are proud to be a donor.

Founder Kris Intress' desire for helping others culminates in this first phase, she remarks "There are five key trends when combined, show what a fit farm, our Fit Farm, will solve as our society navigates 'a perfect storm' in life. We get our clients to recognize what they need to do for themselves – and usually it is the first time they TAKE & MAKE the time to invest in themselves and find balance. Our adult playground gives them just that extra edge to make a true reset for their lives, challenge what they know and create personal success, all in one location built exclusively for the purpose of changing one's pace for life."

We are eager to welcome those invited, home to the farm.

Fit Farm hosts individuals, groups, companies and fundraisers too … all are welcome. Now, with the nation's only permanent obstacle course with lodging, The Fit Farm Triple Fury, is a perfect turnkey solution for fundraising and so are the vast green spaces to host functions. Corporate events including board meetings and team building leadership exercises up to a few hundred can be hosted across property. Memory building and strong people-bonding experiences are created at the farm, and are of course tailor made.
