We Have Higher Standards
Beyond Organic
Our partners care for their land and surrounding ecosystems with regenerative practices like crop rotation, natural pest management, and water conservation. We visit them regularly, and know our standards are being met.
Animal Welfare
All animals deserve to live with dignity and do their thing! That means room to roost and pastures to roam. Ours grow up natural and strong, so they don’t need hormones or antibiotics.
Hyper Local
All our food is grown and raised within a 500 mile radius of NYC so you get only the best our region has to offer. Produce is picked to ensure maximum nutrient density and peak-flavor — even the time of day matters!
Minimal Packaging
When you shop local, you don’t need packaging that protects for a long haul and lots of handling. Your food comes au natural so your kitchen (and our planet!) has less waste and plastic.
Your team will feel valued
"The Local Roots event was such a thoughtful experience—it truly made our team feel appreciated and valued. As someone who cares about high-quality, healthy food, having organic, farm-fresh produce provided at work felt like a genuine gift to our community, far more meaningful than a typical office event."
- Alex, Team Member at a Corporate Client
“I founded Local Roots in 2011 to bring New Yorkers the freshest, highest quality farm ingredients that nourishes your body, and the land. Local Roots also creates a small town feel in a big city by building community around local food and sustainability. Know your food. Know your farmer. Know your neighbor (if you want)."
Come visit our Chelsea kiosk at Pier 57 for high quality bubble tea that uses local farm ingredients.
