I was doing research today for the vegan e-commerce marketplace, forAnima, that I work for here in New York and found Brooklyn Brine's pickles while browsing the vegan artisan foods on the Green Grocer's site (based in Washington D.C.). The grocer’s website is great! They provide company history, information and video for most almost all their artisans, which is how I happened upon this video interviewing the owner of Brooklyn Brine Pickles.
Jones' story is really inspring. When he started out he was working 27hr days in a shared restaurant space. Now even with national exposure and his own space he promises that everything is still handcut, labeled and packaged! The executive director of the New York Industrial Retention Network, Adam Friedman, also speaks on the struggles of start-ups in New York in terms of finding space and investors in a price competitive industry and high cost environment. Take a look see ! :)
