FreshDirect is proudly located in the Bronx, which puts us in the ideal position to take advantage of all the mid-Atlantic has to offer. We’re situated between upstate New York’s lush dairy pastures and independent fruit and vegetable growers, Long Island’s rich soils and booming wine culture, and the rolling farmlands of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Plus, there are the many enterprising small food businesses based in New York City and beyond. Add in the world-class culinary culture that the city is known for and you’ve got the perfect condition for discovering incredible cuisine of every sort.<\/p>

And by embracing local food, you’re not only getting it from the farm fresher and supporting smaller producers, but also making one of the most impactful choices you can to reduce your carbon footprint. So if you’re having guests from out of town, or just want to engage in a little hometown pride with your neighbors and friends, a locally-themed party is a great opportunity to showcase the best of the region. Read on for our picks of what to bring to an end-of-summer cookout, then shop all of our local favorites on FreshDirect.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
