Local Roots was founded on the power of community and good food. We connect fellow New Yorkers and sustainable family farmers aiming to heal our broken food system with a healthier, more delicious future for us all. We’re a minority female-owned small business.
Since our first market pickup in 2011, we’ve distributed over 60,000 pounds of sustainable produce per year — connecting 1,500+ New York households with freshly harvested and nutrient-dense food sourced from over 15 family farms and 20+ small-batch purveyors. We deliver hand crafted small batch provisions or provide neighborhood pick ups in community oriented markets.
The two Local Roots Cafes can be found serving Farm-To-Table Chinese Comfort food, locally sourced Bubble Tea, wines and beers. In Chelsea, we’re at the Market 57 kiosk at the @BeardFoundation Food Hall. In Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn the cafe caters, hosts parties, and community events.
