The Town to Table Difference

---

Did you know that most grocery store basil is grown and harvested abroad, requiring weeks of transit and multiple processing points? Town to Table’s hydroponic farms and retail partners are located in the Greater Boston area, so our basil never travels more than 30 miles to reach store shelves. Many times, our customers enjoy it within a day or two of harvest. 

From the repurposed shipping containers that house our farms, to our incredibly low-impact growing technology that uses up to 95% less water compared to traditional farming methods, sustainability is naturally built-in to our business. We use recyclable packaging, and are always looking for innovative ways to lower our impact on the planet and local community. 

Most store-bought basil travels thousands of miles in refrigerated trucks to reach your local grocer, so it’s no wonder it wilts and blackens quickly. Our hyper-local supply chain all but guarantees you’ll be able to enjoy your Town to Table basil longer than anything else you can find at the grocery store.

Our experienced growers seed, harvest, and package every basil plant by hand, giving us full transparency into its journey from seed to shelf. We source our seeds from one of the region’s most well-respected growers, and keep close tabs on each harvested batch, so we can identify and remove any tainted product from the supply chain if needed.
