At Team Cone, we are more than just a delivery company. We are a family-owned beverage distributor that serves 22 counties in North Central Florida. Our goal is to bring high-quality drinks to our friends and neighbors in places like Ocala, Tallahassee, and Gainesville.
We are always looking for new brands that fit the Florida lifestyle. Today, we are proud to announce that we are now distributing Free Bird. This brand is built for the “everyday heroes” of our community. The hardworking people who keep our state running.
Pure Water from a Southern Source
As your local distributor, we know that quality starts at the source. Free Bird is 100% natural spring water from the Blue Ridge Mountains in Georgia. The water is filtered through ancient granite rocks, which makes it taste very crisp and clean.
We chose to bring Free Bird to Florida because it keeps things simple. There are no fancy trends or added chemicals. It is just pure, refreshing water that feels right at home at a backyard barbecue or a busy job site. We offer both Still Spring Water and Sparkling Water to give our customers the choices they want.
Why the “Tallboy” Can is Perfect for Florida
One of the main reasons we added Free Bird to our portfolio is the packaging. It comes in a bold 19.2oz aluminum “Tallboy” can. For a distributor, this format is a game-changer for several reasons:
- It Stays Cold: In the Florida sun, nobody wants warm water. Aluminum cans get cold much faster than plastic and hold that chill longer.
- It’s Tough: These cans are “job site ready.” They don’t crack or leak like thin plastic bottles, making them perfect for workers and outdoor fans.
- It’s Sustainable: Aluminum is 100% recyclable. A can you recycle today can be back on a store shelf in as little as 60 days.
By distributing water in cans, we are helping to reduce plastic waste in our local community and protecting our beautiful Florida springs.
A Partnership Built on Grit: Joe Gibbs Racing
Free Bird’s “no-nonsense” attitude has already made a huge splash on the national stage. They are a primary partner for Joe Gibbs Racing and NASCAR driver Chase Briscoe.
We are excited to represent a brand that supports such a high-performing team. In 2025, Chase Briscoe had a breakout year in the No. 19 Toyota Camry. He earned three major wins and finished 3rd in the final championship standings. Briscoe is known for his “Southern grit” and hard work, which are the same values we pride ourselves on here at Team Cone.
Serving Our 22-County Territory
Team Cone has been a leader in Florida distribution since 1985. We serve a wide area that includes Marion, Alachua, Leon, Citrus, and Sumter counties. Whether you are fishing on the Nature Coast or tailgating at a big game, we want to make sure you have the best refreshment in your hand.
Adding Free Bird to our lineup helps us offer a “total beverage solution” to local retailers. It fits perfectly alongside our other “better-for-you” options like Ryl Tea and Popwell Soda.
