Further proof that green is the new black comes
by way of this eco-minded Williamsburg mega-grocery, which peddles
locally sourced products with a focus on sustainability, seasonality
and—add this to your eco-buzzword thesaurus—traceability. “We really
put a lot of work into knowing where our food is coming from,” say
co-owner Dan Cipriani. “We wanted to open up a place where we develop a
relationship with the farmers and know how our food is raised.” The
products span the range from organic baby food grown in Brooklyn, to a
line of soaps made with organic olive oil and packaged in paper from
discarded books. A
separate dining area offers shoppers omelettes, panini and smoothies
during the day, and at night it switches over to a full-service dinner
spot with a menu—charcuterie, salads, meats—dependent on the day’s
produce.
