Four More Days Left to Join Brooklyn’s Only Sockeye Salmon CSA

Heritage Meats Opens a Shop at the Foot of the Williamsburg Bridge
Until now Brooklyn’s Heritage Foods only sold its meats directly to chefs and restaurants or online, serving as broker between small family farms who can’t afford to process their proteins and city customers who want sustainably sourced meat. Last week they moved into real brick and mortar digs, in what used to be Jeffrey’s Meat Market in the Essex Street Market.
