Herbivores and locavores and carnivores alike, if you aren’t already shopping at the Bushwick Food Co-Op, you are missing out on some seriously fine culinary possibilities.
When was the last time you had spigarello broccoli? And when was the last time you knew the name of the farmer who plucked that spigarello from the lush upstate New York soil? At Bushwick Food Co-Op, you can purchase a wad of spigarello broccoli grown in upstate New York for less than the cost of a subway ride (as of recent fare hikes, anyway!) And while you’re getting your spigarello fix, you can pick up some fresh/local/organic/non-genetically modified New York Yukon Gold Potatoes, Baby Spinach, Tangerines, Arugula, bread baked at Roberta’s, and Brooklyn brewed vegan cheeses.
But don’t panic, beef lovers! The co-op is not strictly a place for veggie-heads. You can also snag yourself some choice cuts of steak, juicy chickens, or grain fed turkey. If you’re looking for something mildly exotic, they’ve got duck and rabbit. And of course, all of the meats sold at the co-op are grass-fed, antibiotic- and hormone-free.
