Can’t make it to the farmers’ market? No problem. Wildkale Online Farmers’ Market, a collective of micro family farms, will bring fresh, locally grown products to you. Founded in 2015 by Ana Jakimovska, Wildkale works with farmers to help them ship their grassfed beef and pasture-raised chicken and pork directly to consumers.
The idea came naturally to Jakimovska, who grew up in North Macedonia eating healthy food cooked with local ingredients. Wanting to replicate this experience for her two children, she visited hundreds of farms across the state, and struck gold in Central New York. “I realized more people needed better access to these quality products. I started Wildkale to help to bring these farm-fresh proteins and ingredients directly to the doorsteps of New Yorkers in the city and all over the state,” she says.
Wildkale’s partners utilize regenerative practices in their farming and steer clear of synthetic fertilizers and hormones. Once you place an order, the farmers pack your box by hand with dry ice—whether it’s a whole chicken from Nature’s Acres or pork chops from Apple Tree Farm (both in Morrisville). Items are then shipped out for next-day delivery. For more info and to place an order, visit wildkale.market.
