Information about sustainable farming, the Slow Food Movement, suporting farmers in our region, healthy eating, buying organic and much more!

Farmer's Markets are a vital part of delivering quality wholesome food products direct to consumers. Urban Hearth Personal Chef and Catering Services selects most of its quality ingredients from local farmer's markets including Union Square and Grand Army Plaza. We also travel to farms and purveyors in Long Island, the Hudson River Valley, New Jersey and Vermont.

The Global Slow Food Movement encompasses many aspects of food production and consumption. Among these is the celebration of the table - taking pleasure in living as well as eating - taking time "to smell the roses."

In a city and a time where we are swept along at a frantic pace, creating we struggle to find peace and simplicty wherever we can. For most of us, the dinner table has played a roll in finding this balance throughout our lives. Gathered with family, friends and loved ones, we step out of the current and revitalize our souls with the aiding comfort of good food.

The mission of Urban Hearth is to set the table for you - to make it easier for your to take pleasure in living, eating, and just being... no strings attached... and thankfully, no pots to wash.
