A Bit About New England Country Mart
Thank you so much for visiting this page. We launched New England Country Mart in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 to encourage our neighbors to stay home and stay safe while still receiving the premium, hand-selected ingredients from local New England businesses right in their backyard.
As a local, family-owned and operated small business, we know how important it is to keep ourselves AND everyone in the community safe during these times. We are so proud to support organizations and people in need throughout our community, and that’s why we take our commitment to quality, safety, and health so seriously.
The health and safety of our customers, employees, and community are our top priority. We are taking every and all precaution to stay on top of the current COVID-19 outbreak to make sure that we can continue running a safe operation and serve our customers. We will always be carefully monitoring developments with regard to COVID-19, including guidelines issued by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
What we’re doing
We insist that our growers and warehouse handlers adhere to rigorous safety measures at all times so that our customers receive the highest quality products. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have ramped up all safety measures and we are following strict protocols and procedures as instructed by the CDC and World Health Organization.
We are ensuring that all of our surfaces and warehouse spaces are being cleaned and disinfected properly and professionally. We have hand-wipe containers and 60%+ alcohol-based hand-sanitizer dispensers throughout our warehouse, and all employees are gloved and wear masks while preparing orders.
Despite the abundance of plastic bags we use to prepare each box, we take many precautions to bag each item within the box to ensure there is no extra handling of each item. Because we are a produce wholesaler, our product comes directly from the distributor right into our warehouse, is packaged, and delivered directly to your door. With this process, your produce has much fewer “touchpoints” than what you are buying at a local grocer, where the product is exposed for long periods of time and handled by various personnel (putting out for presentation, rotating the product, etc.) and customers on a daily basis.
And, of course, the delivery personnel respect social distancing, as the boxes are dropped on your doorstep with contact-less delivery.
We take extraordinary measures to ensure that we deliver only fresh, premium, restaurant-quality ingredients groceries from reputable and trusted growers to your home, safely. Here at NECM, we believe food not only provides sustenance and pleasure but also brings families and communities closer together.
Our family and this service have deep roots in the Greater Boston area, and we will always maintain the highest standards in the industry to continue keeping our community healthy, happy, and fed. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact us directly.
