Baldor Specialty Foods, one of the largest importers and distributors of fresh produce and specialty foods in Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, announced they will be partnering with select farms from across their network of suppliers to host a farmers market at their upcoming BITE celebration in April.
Working in conjunction with fifteen of its farm partners from across US, Baldor BITE plans to bring a colorful assortment of tasty farm-produced foods onto the showroom floor so attendees can sample freshly harvested produce and meet the hardworking people behind the food they use and enjoy.
“At Baldor, we know our customers care deeply about where their food comes from,” said TJ Murphy, CEO of Baldor Specialty Foods. “And what better way for our restaurateurs and chefs to get to know the people who grow their food than by bringing them all together at our Baldor BITE farmers market.”
Farms contributing to the market include: Bernard Ranches, Blue Sky Organic Farms, County Line Harvest, Greg Paul Produce / Delta Queen, Eckerton Hill Farm, Garcia Organic Farm, Harry’s Berries, Kitchen Garden Farm, Lancaster Farm Fresh Cooperative, Martha’s Vineyard Mycological, Mountain Sweet Berry Farm, Murray Family Farms, Norwich Meadows Farm, Row 7 Seed Company, and Taproot Farm.
The market will feature a full array of freshly harvested items such as asparagus, berries, ramps and organic specialty citrus.
“On any given day, Baldor offers its customers hundreds of produce, dairy, meats and organics that have been sourced locally,” said Benjamin Walker, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “The farmers market at our BITE event serves to remind our customers our pledge to support local farms and introduce them to the best and most unique varieties available.”
Baldor BITE will be held on Tuesday, April 28th, 2020 from noon-to-5 pm at Pier 36’s Basketball City located at 299 South Street in NYC’s historic Seaport District. The expo will feature engaging panel discussions, tantalizing cooking demos, and the unique opportunity to sample products from over 100 farms and vendor partners.
