The last vestige of a farm stand in the heart of East Hampton Village officially closed this past fall when Bogo's Food Spa on Race Lane sealed its drafty barn doors. This eclectic shop filled with local produce, gourmet cheeses and meats, dried goods, smoothies and juices, and other provisions was popular among customers who knew that the proprietor, John Bogosian, knew quality food and could tell you the story of a particularly strange looking tomato or particularly expensive type of wild rice.
Fortunately, Bogosian isn't hanging up his purveyor's cap just yet. He has launched BOGOFOOD, a sort of collective bargaining effort to get wholesale-type prices on everything from local produce to natural meats, from hard-to-find ethnic foods to earth-friendly cleaning products. BOGOFOOD offers home delivery from Southampton to Amagansett and free pickups in Bridgehampton, East Hampton and Montauk. More at bogofood.com.
