FreshDirect has always supported the growth of independent, emerging, and local brands. We are committed to using our platform to give visibility and recognition to the creators and makers of quality goods. This includes investing in BIPOC-led businesses that not only create exciting products but also drive positive social and economic change. It’s one of our core values to promote and celebrate these leaders.
For Black History Month, we’re spotlighting Black-owned and led businesses available on FreshDirect. Food is part of the heritage that the occasion honors, and these businesses build on that legacy while striving for a sustainable, inclusive, and just future. They exemplify innovation, goodwill, and a commitment to deliciousness. We’re honored to have them as part of the FreshDirect family.
