the Italian phrase for "the simple act of nothing" is dolce far niente, which translates to "the sweetness of doing nothing". it describes the enjoyment of idleness & the simple act of relaxing or being present. it's about savoring moments and finding contentment in not doing anything productive.
our story, behind the board.
Ciao, benvenuti! (Hi, welcome)!
We’re Robyn & Shannon — Two food-loving friends and proud Italian mamas based in sunny, Nocatee, Florida. As a woman-owned business, Black Fig & Co. was born from a shared love for bringing people together over great food.
Life can be hectic (we get it — we’re raising boys!), but we believe in slowing down and savoring the sweetest moments — Especially when shared around a beautiful board with good company.
What started as a simple idea quickly turned into something more: a way to turn tradition, flavor & a little flair into meaningful connections. Everything we create is made with heart, inspired by our roots & our love for getting together over a beautiful setting.
We’re so happy you’re here. Welcome to our table!
our boards are faithful to the seasons - because true love is vibrant, thoughtful, and delicious.
“ thoughtfully curated, seasonally inspired. ”
At Black Fig & Co., we’re rooted in a deep commitment to inclusivity, quality, and creativity. We believe everyone deserves to enjoy beautiful, delicious food — no matter their dietary needs.
That’s why we offer customizable boards for those with food sensitivities, including dairy-free, gluten-free, nut-free, and vegan preferences. Each board is thoughtfully curated with options like dairy-free cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies, deli-style turkey or hummus, olives, dried fruits, and seasonal spreads.
Styled to be just as stunning and satisfying as our signature offerings, these boards are made with intention — so no one feels left out.
We also created The Forager’s Delight — a gut-friendly board made with the cleanest ingredients we could get our hands on.
Whenever possible, we feature seasonal and locally sourced produce and accoutrements that celebrate the bounty of each season. Because to us, a board should be more than beautiful — it should feel personal, welcoming, and made for everyone at the table.
