The new incarnation of Sullivan St. Bakery, Grandaisy redefines simple luxury with artisan breads made from local ingredients. We love the sesame loaf and the pizza cavolfiore with cauliflower and gruyere.

Saxelby Cheese

First to recommend

Description

No picnic of ours is complete without cheese. Saxelby carries a tiny and fantastic collection of American farmstead cheeses. Tomme Delay is a favorite — super creamy, deliciously stinky and made from organic raw goat’s milk by Lazy Lady Farm in Vermont.

Wheelhouse Pickles

First to recommend

Description

A perfect foil to the richness of cheese — pickles! Wheelhouse Pickles preserves the best of locally grown produce into funky little zingers like sour barrel cucumbers and the surprise favorite — pickled pears.

Electra Wine - Quady Winery

First to recommend

Description

Light, refreshing and a bit sweet, it’s the perfect picnic wine. It pairs as well with fresh berries as it does with spicy sausage, and it’s from grapes grown sustainably in central California.
