In the summer and fall, we take advantage of the rich variety of Northeastern fruit. Expect stone fruit, berries, melons, and grapes in the summer, and pears and apples galore in the fall!
In winter and early spring we supplement the regional offerings by venturing beyond our local ecology to bring our customers the joy of citrus, and we make sure we find the best. Whether it’s the perfect sweet-to-tart balance of a grapefruit or the tender and juicy segments of a satsuma, our citrus will never taste like anything you can find at your local grocery store. We work directly with small California citrus farms to bring you both the staples as well as the unique.
Brooklyn, NY
We work year-round with small farms and makers to craft the ultimate selection of unique, delicious, and nutrient-dense food. In warmer months, that means ridiculously fresh fruits and vegetables from within a 300-mile radius of NYC. When it gets cold, we sprinkle in a few crops from our friends around the country to keep up the variety (Think amazingly juicy citrus from out west and super crisp peppers from the south!).
Regardless of where the ingredients come from, we build relationships with farms that use regenerative agricultural methods, no- or low-spray growing practices, and that harvest seasonally for peak flavor and nutritional benefit. Because we value the hard work and expertise of our farm partners, we pay them fairly. Up to 50% of every food dollar we make goes back to them. For reference, the national average remains below 15%. We also help some of our partners crop plan! Crop planning is the work farmers do ahead of each season to decide what they will grow. We commit to purchase certain crops to guarantee they find a home.
