Serra Provisions is located at 7 Sintsink Drive East on Manhasset Isle in Port Washington. Serra Provisions, simply put, is an Italian inspired line of handcrafted, all-natural food products, utilizing local, seasonal ingredients from small farms in and around New York State. Owners Jesse and Brittany Olson explain, “Our products are free from GMOs, sugars, and other commercially produced stabilizers, or preservatives. From our all-natural, artisanal pastas, to grass-fed, European style butter blends, all of our products are made in house, using responsibly sourced ingredients, and old world cooking and preservation methods. We are taking a modern, forward thinking approach to tradition. “

Jesse and Brittany shared their feelings about opening a business in Port Washington saying, “After spending over 25 years traveling the country, working in some of the best restaurants, we found our business home, as well as our home, in Port Washington! What an incredible community! We have been welcomed with open arms and embraced by a community that is so supportive of its small businesses! We couldn’t feel more welcome, and look forward to many years serving such a beautiful town!”
