The New Way to Get Farm-Fresh Groceries Delivered
Pepper Pantry is delivering chef-quality ingredients to your door from local farms and family-owned businesses across CT & the Northeast.

In the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak and ongoing concerns over the health risk of going to the grocery store, the struggle for families to find safe, contactless ways to get food on their table continues.
In Orange, CT, Cindy Feldmann encountered multiple frustrating experiences trying to get groceries for her family until she stumbled upon Pepper Pantry- a new online grocery delivery service where consumers can purchase supplies from local farms and speciality wholesalers across Connecticut and the Northeast who typically sell to restaurants and are struggling to stay afloat in the current climate.
These suppliers typically only sell in bulk to restaurants, but with the unprecedented volume of closures, are now teaming up with Pepper Pantry to see if delivering directly to consumers can help keep their doors open. The hooks? Customers can pack their fridges with flavor while supporting small, family-owned businesses in their area. Pepper Pantry connects consumers with the best local specialty food suppliers nearby so it’s easier to buy from people they trust and help neighbors in their communities thrive.

“Pepper Pantry has been a tremendous opportunity to keep our staff busy working, while creating a sense of security for those who are reluctant to go to the grocery store. We sell items sourced from local businesses, so Pepper Pantry has certainly made a huge contribution to keeping food supply hyper-local,” says Maria DeSarbo, Vice President of Carbonella & DeSarbo.
