Nextdoorganics How it works

TAP

We fill subscriptions ($20-$50/week) of local organic vegetables, fruits, heirloom beans and grains, small-batch pantry items and add-ons like Bed Stuy’s famous SCRATCHbread, organic pastured chicken eggs, farmstand cheeses, grass-fed cow butter, locally-roasted Brewklyn Grind organic coffee, and more. Our web store is filled with a rotating selection from Granola Lab to raw fermented hot sauce to herbs, spices, and teas.

We pay a great deal of attention to our sourcing. Priority is given to localness. Our closest farms are the Bushwick Campus Farm (an organic-in-practice educational farm at a high school in Brooklyn), Sky Vegetables (rooftop hydroponic farm on a sustainable Housing Authority project in the Bronx), and Green Grass Life (the largest urban farm in NYC in the Bronx).

Other regional organic farmers include Lancaster Farm Fresh Cooperative (60-80 small-scale Amish farms in Lancaster Co, PA), Finger Lakes Farms (NY-based collective of finger lakes region farms), Rogowski Farm (NY, McArthur Genius Award winning farmer), Zone 7 (NJ, PA, NY small farm collective).

Winter heirloom citrus and avocados are coming from a collection of small-scale family run farms in California (you can thank us now for averting locavore scurvy) until the local berries come back in May. And again, we will receive an order from the Vermont Sail Freight Project (Kickstarter-funded, hand built sail barge, coming from Lake Champlain with New England farm products) to restock our selection of heirloom beans, grains, oil, vinegar, teas, herbs, and more.

Vision

By foot, train, pick-up truck, cargo bike, sail barge, mail, freight, and flight, we coordinate a huge network of farmers and food makers to create packages with variety throughout the seasons.

In maximizing health, happiness, and social impact in our sourcing, our 700+ members trust us to fill their pantry and refrigerator week after week.

We have a company vision of a network of Nextdoorganics Hubs, like our Brooklyn Hub, providing the basic physical and market infrastructure for a real urban food production and distribution system that becomes increasingly local.
