New England Specialty Foods
The Directory:
Non-Profit Marketing, Cost Reduction & Information Services for Small Producers
About the Directory
This is a unique, one stop gourmet shopping guide consisting of most of the specialty food products produced in New England, which you aren't likely to ever find in giant, traditional supermarkets. It doesn't mean they aren't good enough, just that the small producers can't afford to pay the large chain stores thousands in slotting fees which they require to do business with them. Whether you're a consumer, a retail buyer or a Chef, this is your opportunity to "Buy Local", support small businesses and eat healthy. There is no charge to be listed on this website. If you know of a small producer who should be added to this directory, just send the information to us at
info@newenglandspecialtyfoods.com, and we'll add it.
Phase one of this website is nearly completed, everyone listed in the Directory will be contacted regarding how to participate in the various options listed sometime in June 2010.

To have your website added,
An Important Message to Consumers:
Why not make a suggestion to the manager of your favorite chain supermarket that they waive slotting fees for small, local producers, to give these businesses a chance to grow, creating jobs and helping the economycome back stronger?
At the same time, you'll also get more local, healthy choices for your
dining enjoyment!
