Grocery delivery service debuts on Marthaâs Vineyard
New England Country Mart to offer summer service of farm-fresh products.
Food is delivered in recyclable boxes.
New England Country Mart offers about 1,000 items, most of them locally sourced in New England.
Marthaâs Vineyard residents and seasonal visitors will have another option when it comes to stocking up on farm-fresh foods.
New England Country Mart will launch its delivery service with a special first run on May 13, and then will be coming to the Island on Thursdays from June 3 through Labor Day. The Chelsea-based company was created by the husband and wife team of Jeff and Elyssa Kotzen when COVID-19 took a drastic toll on their wholesale operations. J.W. Lopes was a fourth-generation company that had survived recessions but wasnât âpandemic proof,â Elyssa Kotzen told The Times.
