Company description

First Bloom is a pantry store that supports the community it serves with affordable, practical items needed to make a meal. If it’s jarred, bottled or canned and it belongs in your kitchen, we have it. There will also be a weekly fresh vegetable and flower delivery from nearby farms when seasonally appropriate, chest freezers stocked chicken, pork, beef and lamb from the surrounding area and shelf-stable condiments made with any surplus of produce from neighboring growers. High and low basics, items that are accessible and interesting, affordable and splurgeable. Nothing you don’t want or need, just essentials to make good food purchased in a fun and joyful space while supporting the farmers and makers of Delaware County and surrounding areas.
