The future of sustainable food in New Orleans! Jack and Jake’s fresh foods are truly fresh – typically available at the Market within 3 days of harvest. Food is sourced, truly local, and harvested within ~65 miles of the heart of the city. Our farmers and food artisans cultivate local varieties and use organic products that produce food that tastes better, retains more nutrients, and meets special dietary needs. We are proud to tell you that our fresh produce comes with seeds because we do not support or promote the use of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs). Our farmers use open pollinated and heirloom varieties that don’t ship well but taste great! We are working to save and promote our local food heritage through sustainable food practices that utilize locally adapted plants and animals. OPENING Summer 2010 on Earhart in New Orleans.
