From Canadian Roots to Florida Tables

Flash-frozen at peak freshness • Delivered with care by people who know your name

For over 30 years, we've been bringing families together with premium, responsibly sourced meat and seafood — delivered with the same care we give our own.

MEET THE FOUNDER

Flash-frozen at peak freshness • Delivered with care by people who know your name

David Cline

With more than three decades of experience in the premium food industry across Canada and the United States, David Cline has dedicated his career to one simple idea: families deserve better than what most grocery stores and delivery apps offer.

After years of seeing families settle for average quality and stressful last-minute shopping, David founded Home Tyme in Sarasota with a clear mission - to make restaurant-quality meat and seafood easy, reliable, and truly enjoyable for busy families.

What began as a personal passion has grown into a trusted local institution, serving hundreds of families across the greater Sarasota area every single week.

"We don't just deliver food. We deliver peace of mind - so you can focus on what matters most: time with your family around the table."

Our Mission

To make premium, responsibly sourced meat and seafood accessible to every family in the greater Sarasota area - delivered with the same care, quality, and personal service we would want for our own families.

🥩

Personal Service

You’ll often see the same friendly faces. We know your name and remember your preferences.

🤝

Local & Direct

We work directly with Florida fishermen, ranchers, and processors — keeping prices fair while supporting our local economy.

❤️

Family First, Always

Every delivery is handled with the same care we'd want for our own family's dinner table — because that's exactly who we're serving.

What Makes Home Tyme Different

We're not just another delivery service. We're your local partner in creating memorable meals at home.

🚫 No Delivery Fees. Ever.

We believe great food should be accessible. That's why we offer completely free delivery on every single order — no minimums, no hidden charges, no surprises.

❄️ Flash-Frozen at Peak Freshness

Our products are flash-frozen at the moment of peak quality, locking in flavor and nutrients. In many cases, our frozen seafood and steaks are fresher than what you'll find in the "fresh" section at the grocery store.

📞 Real People, Real Service

When you call or text, you reach our actual team - not a call center. We know your name, your delivery preferences, and your regular schedule. That's the Home Tyme difference.

🏠 Supporting Local Florida

We work directly with local fishermen, ranchers, and processors across Florida. Your dollars stay in the community, supporting the people who work hard to bring you the best.

Our Promise to You

When you choose Home Tyme, you're choosing more than just premium food. You're choosing a partner who cares about your family's meals as much as you do.
