Down to Earth Markets

Down to Earth Markets was honored to present during the Entrepreneur Showcase at the 𝐅𝐎𝐎𝐃 𝐅𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐃 𝐄𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔: 𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 & 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐫 hosted by Slow Money NYC on Tuesday! We shared our vision for a resilient regional food system, our role in New York’s evolving foodshed and next steps in the future of our company.

This year’s theme ‘Built On Purpose: Where Food Business + Capital Align’ brought together a fantastic field of mission-driven brands, local farmers, food entrepreneurs and impact investors. Attendees heard insights from an all-star lineup of experts, discovered and sampled products from the next wave of emerging food businesses, and connected with like-minded industry representatives.

It’s always inspiring to get together with people who are bringing big ideas to local food system building. We’re excited to see what comes out of this meeting of the minds!

With special thanks to the expert panel that responded to our presentation:

Have you ever tried tatsoi greens before? Well now is the moment because this cold-hardy, nutrient-dense Asian leafy green vegetable often tastes sweeter after a light autumn frost. It looks like spinach but belongs to the mustard green and cabbage family. Try it steamed, sautéed, in soup, or added to a salad.

Pictured is Gaia's Breath Farm's organic tatsoi in our Larchmont Farmers Market last Saturday.

A big thank you to all the intrepid shoppers that came out to support Down to Earth's small-scale farms and food producers during the nor'easter this past weekend!

While several of our farmers markets were canceled, we were able to open our Chelsea, Larchmont, Morningside Park, and Park Slope locations with many vendors selling directly out of their vehicles. We're so grateful that our community showed up for us despite the rain 💚.

Know your squash! Did you know that most commercial pumpkin pie is actually made with butternut squash?
