Tess and Todd began Brooklyn Victory Gardens in early 2011 with a focus on bringing you local and regional food and kitchen products. Their logo is actually a system used to demarcate where a product originates; a product made in New York City or along the coast of New Jersey is marked with a red star, any product made within 250 miles of their store is marked with a yellow circle, and anything produced within a 250 to 400 mile radius is marked with a green circle.
More to come!
