Zone 7
Mikey Azzara, Friend of the Farmer & Friend of Fresh.
Linking Farms & Restaurants
by Kathleen McGinn Spring
Five years ago Mikey Azzara, then director of the Northeast Organic Farming Association and now owner of Zone 7, began holding meetings to bring organic farmers and chefs from fine dining restaurants together.. “There was a lot of networking,” says Azzara. “We did something like speed dating. Each farmer would have two minutes with each chef.”
The two groups are interdependent, especially as diners increasingly scrutinize menus in search of fresh, locally grown ingredients. The chefs know that they need the farmers, and vice versa. But Azzara found that the connection was not always being made.

Fresh Family Night at the YMCA
(3ft of ciabatta, 4 Lucky's Tomatoes,
1.5 lb mozzarella, 3 table
spoons of sea salt = love & goodness)

We know people love a good climbing wall. And if there's anything
people love more than a climbing wall, hands down it's gotta be Snow Dogs.
Still...it was the Biggest crowd EVER
for Family Night!!!
Definitely good fun for all.
Much thanks to all the
Freshniks that represented.

Coming this Spring!

Ever dream of topping a cheeseburger
with chocolate-covered bacon?
Made a 60lb rice crispy treat?
Check out our new favorite site, an epicurean Island of Dr. Moreau
where everything is better wrapped in bacon then deep fried.
And we do mean EVERYTHING.

Your Table is Ready
A Breath of Fresh Air
-Kristin Leo
Fresh. The name says it all! The owners aren't pulling any punches here; you'll get what you are promised: organic, healthy food made from scratch. Even the interior of this local venue lives up to the name. The decor is bright, airy and uplifting. And if that's not enough to lift your spirits for the day, the extremely friendly and accommodating service will do the trick. Fresh is family owned with a team that includes brothers Erik Wolfe and Brandon Glasser and Erik's wife Avianna Ponzi. They'll do what they can to make you feel like you're part of the family when you visit.
Sandwiches, salads, and soups are the top menu choices here, and while that might sound like a simple selection, with a quick glimpse at the menu, you'll quickly realize there is a lot more than meets the eye!
In fact, under the sandwich menu, you may think you are considering a choice among some of the classic lunch options until you take a closer look at the ingredients and realize your taste buds are in for a tantalizing and unique combination of flavors. Consider the Mediterranean Tuna with pole caught tuna, capers, red onion, arugula, lemon and olive oil served on a baguette. The Chicken Salad has some pizzazz with its satisfying combination of organic chicken, walnuts, red onion, cranberries, and homemade mayonnaise on a brioche bun.
If you are looking for something on the warm side, perhaps the Chicken Breast sandwich will do the trick with its organic chicken, fresh mozzarella, roasted plum tomato, arugula, and herb mayo on ciabatta. The
Of course, if a salad is more your speed, you won't have trouble finding something to satisfy when choosing among the 11 selections. The Vietnamese Chicken with its cabbage, carrot, red pepper, scallions, and organic chicken in a spicy ginger lime dressing and the Goat Cheese Salad with Coach Farm's goat cheese, granny smith apple, arugula, and candied walnuts served with aged balsamic are just two of the many interesting options!
Every day, Fresh features four homemade soups that are the perfect answer to these cold, dreary winter days! Last week alone, patrons were enticed by soups such as Butternut Squash & Apple, Chicken Vegetable, Vegetarian Bean & Barley, Black Bean and Chorizo, and Broccoli & Cheddar!

Working with a Greener Coca Cola
When we opened we were able to partner with Coca Cola on getting a "recycled" machine - a shell from the 80's with new guts, retro-fit with an unused light from the Carter Administration.
Also sent us a really nice letter which we've posted below. Can't lie - as a very young brand, pretty exciting to be recognized by coke.
