About Us
At our core, our mission is to inspire every meal with the vibrant flavors of the Caribbean. Our journey began four years ago when we moved from the beautiful Bahamas to the Greater Cincinnati Area, bringing with us, a passion for cooking that is central to our culture.
We started hosting dinners and barbecues, sharing our seasoning blends with friends and neighbors, who quickly became enamored with the flavors. As their curiosity grew and requests for our blends multiplied, we realized we had something special to share with the world.
Their enthusiasm paired with our passion for flavorful food and community drove us to broaden our reach and share our creations more widely, ultimately leading to the creation of Osage Foods.
Our Story
FAMILY. Originally from the Bahamas, Desmond grew up helping his father hand craft seasoning blends inspired by the vibrant flavors of the Caribbean. Now a devoted husband and father, Desmond enjoys cooking, barbecuing, and sharing his love for food with his family. After relocating to the Greater Cincinnati area, he found himself missing the seasonings that reminded him of home. Drawing on his father's cherished recipes, he began creating his own blends, which quickly won the hearts of friends and neighbors who savored his flavorful dishes. He loves that his seasoning blends bring a touch of home to each person's kitchen.
FAITH. God has been the cornerstone of Desmond’s culinary journey. His cooking was a way to express gratitude for the blessings in his life. He believed that every meal was an opportunity to share God’s love with others, turning simple ingredients into heartfelt offerings. His faith guided him, infusing his cooking with purpose and intention, reminding us that food can be a powerful means of connection and community.
