New Store Opening!

To Our Fresh Following:

As a small and passionate business, it is our goal to grow to be accessible to all sorts of neighborhoods with all sorts of people. Tomorrow, we'll kick off the soft opening of a new addition to our list of locations! Coming to you on West  57th Street & 6th Avenue, a new Fresh & Co will be born.

Some cool things to expect will be our newer products such as the Wai Lana Yogi Chips as well as the Kopali Organics. Our menu will continue to rock on with it's current dishes but something completely new to expect will be Hint water! The newest edition to our fresh item list. You'll notice a slightly more relaxed look for our frontline employees with new fresh t's and awesome aprons - custom made, and wonderfully embroidered.

But my personal favorite part of this new store will be our social media podium. Equipped with an iPad, we'll be able to be plugged-in to social networks such as twitter and facebook from an in-store level. Also, if anyone is curious about what Fresh is up to as far as twitter, blogging, etc. they can be easily shown right then and there!

We hope everyone gets a chance to check out the new store, and we hope to see some new fresh faces!

From,
The Fresh & Co Team

Hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving! For todays Farm Fresh Friday we've got fresh, and vibrant green Scallions from one of our favorites, Migliorelli Farms from Tivioli, NY








Harvested for their taste, scallions are milder than most onions, making them an excellent choice for a delicious, yet suttle flavor for your salad!

Farm Fresh Friday Nov.19th- Red Onions HD




Another beautiful Farm Fresh Friday! Today we'll be serving these lovely organically farmed red onions from Madura Farms located in Orange Co, NY . Although this farm does not bare the USDA certification, they do in fact use organic farming practices. Attaining USDA Organic certification is quite expensive and not always accessable to small farms - so we support them! 

Support your farmers - GO LOCAL!

A Local Thanksgiving with all the fixins' - Including Martha Stewart!

Animal Friendly™, No Antibiotics, Veggie Grown™, Heart Lite™


I’m sure everyone feels as lost in time as we do over here – thanksgiving is a week away! The holiday hustle and bustle is in full swing as everyone picks and chooses what they’ll be bringing to the table on Turkey Day. So, what’s on your menu? Imagine if all items in your cornucopia of food could all be locally sourced, free range, antibiotic free, all natural, and even some organic. Well, it can!

When it comes to eating healthy, it’s not necessarily all about veggies or tofu. It’s about the whole life of everything you put into your body. On Turkey Day, the main focus of the meal is well – TURKEY! When shopping for your perfect Turkey, I’m not suggesting going out and buying a football shaped tofurkey to try and start off this holiday season with a spongy excuse for a main course. This goes for all dietary preferences – I’m a vegan, and I do NOT suggest a tofurkey. For my fellow veggies, bring something to the table that will make the rooted food stand out – don’t be the one munching on sculpted soy.

Now, for those of you on the hunt for your savory centerpiece, it’s incredibly easy to purchase a local, antibiotic free, veggie grown Turkey. For our fellow foodies, many of us would ask ourselves: What would Martha Stewart do? Well, she would do exactly what we here at Fresh & Co. do everyday – order your turkey from Plainville Farms. Thanks to their team effort, Martha and Plainville Farms have joined forces to provide us with humanely raised and antibiotic/growth hormone free turkeys, tips on how to spruce up your turkey and easy access for ordering guaranteed in time for the holiday! Compliment that with produce from your local farmers market (organic wherever possible!) and there you have it. The perfect, local, and sustainable Thanksgiving Dinner. GOBLE UP!
