NEW YORK, NY - Expansion is in the cards for Bowery Farming as it joins forces with a prominent distributor. The grower has entered a partnership with kosher distributor Kayco, which will bring five varieties of greens to hundreds of kosher supermarkets within a 200-mile radius of Bayonne, New Jersey.

“At Bowery, our mission is to grow food smarter, for more people, in more places. The launch of this partnership with Kayco will help us meet demand for kosher, no-need-to-wash greens in the tri-state area,” said Katie Seawell, Chief Commercial Officer, Bowery.

Baby Butter, Romaine, Crispy Leaf, Mixed Greens, and Spring Mix, under the Bowery Mehadrin brand, are now available to various kosher outlets. The greens are Orthodox Union (OU) Kosher certified and carry an additional rabbinical certification: Tartikov, according to a press release.

Pesticide-free and able to be eaten fresh out of the container, there is no need to wash Bowery’s vertically grown greens. By growing closer to communities, Bowery’s products travel fewer food miles from harvest to store.

“We are extremely proud of our newly formed relationship with Bowery. Supplying fresh produce to our respective communities has been our goal for a while now. We recognized that state-of-the-art logistics, world-class tracking, and speed to market would be crucial to the success in this category,” said Charles Herzog, President, Kayco. “Bowery has been a great partner in working with us to adapt our special kosher standards and shipping schedules to pull this off, and we believe this will have a significant positive impact on the availability of fresh leafy greens in our market to a highly receptive consumer.”

With this expansion, Bowery is now serving more than 1,400 grocery stores and has increased its retail footprint by over 15x since 2020.

Stay tuned as this innovative grower continues to expand.
