Bowery, a New York-based vertical farming company, has partnered with kosher retail and foodservice distributor Kayco to make five varieties of greens available at hundreds of kosher supermarkets within a 200-mile radius of Kayco’s Bayonne, N.J., headquarters.
Baby Butter, Romaine, Crispy Leaf, Mixed Greens, and Spring Mix are now available under the Bowery Mehadrin brand. The greens are Orthodox Union kosher certified and carry an additional rabbinical certification: Tartikov.
Bowery is now offering the only greens in kosher stores that don’t need to be washed, according to a news release.
“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 the demand for kosher, no-need-to-wash greens in the tri-state area,” Katie Seawell, chief commercial officer for Bowery, said in the release.
