The New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets’ Taste NY program has launched its newly revamped ShopTasteNY.com, an online shopping portal that allows for consumers to have New York-produced products delivered right to their door. The new website, which now offers an expanded selection of products with more than 100 food, beverage, and gift items sourced from farms and agri-businesses in every corner of the New York State, makes it even easier for consumers to buy local for their holiday meals and for gift-giving.
State Agriculture Commissioner Richard A. Ball said, “The ShopTasteNY.com site is such a great way to support your local farmer and community businesses. You can find really fun, unique gifts on the site – everything from homemade sauces and jellies to maple syrup – that make perfect additions to your holiday meals or a thoughtful, specialized gift for a loved one. Now, with even more products available on the site and with the holidays fast approaching, there’s no better time to visit ShopTasteNY.com and explore what Taste NY has to offer.”
Through the Shop Taste NY e-commerce site, a diverse selection of foods, beverages, and gifts from each region of New York State – which are also available in the State’s Welcome Centers – are offered online for delivery. The website was first launched in 2020 to support the state’s farmers, producers, and small food and beverage businesses, to increase sales and drive revenues to local communities, and help farmers to connect with new consumers in the marketplace.
The revamped site has made some improvements for an enhanced customer experience. It is now mobile friendly and easier to navigate with a faster response time. Additionally, improvements have been made in support of accessibility. New automated emails will notify customers when an item is back in stock, or when rewards and other incentives are available for returning customers.
The site offers a variety of products from across New York, from honey and jams to goat milk soaps, reflecting each region’s offerings. Participating partners and products are featured on a rotating basis to ensure the diversity of the product line and regional representation.
From December 3 through December 25, shoppers will receive 25 percent off their purchase with the Happy Holidays promotion. Please note, orders should be placed by December 15 to ensure delivery for Christmas. After Christmas, shoppers can still receive 20 percent off with the New Year New Vendors promotion, which runs from December 27 through January 4, 2025.
ShopTasteNY.com offers shipping across the United States. International shipping is not available at this time.
