Company description
Harvest & Revel is a full-service event catering company providing both food and event coordination for our clients. Our food is both elevated and approachable, indulgent and health-conscious. And with every detail - we curate creative culinary experiences to help facilitate refreshingly positive, artful, and satisfying events for all occasions. We make many of our own breads, syrups, pickles, jams, dressings, and sauces. And when we don't, we source from the artisanal producers that we believe are the most talented and ethical of New York.
We consciously step away from our culture's industrialized agriculture, over-processing, and fast food- and instead, work with organic and "slow" ingredients from local farms whenever possible. Creating and serving food that is ethical as well as delicious is at the core of our company.
We are a woman-owned, black-owned, queer-owned, collaboratively-run company working out of a shared commercial kitchen space in Long Island City and providing catering for events mainly in Brooklyn and Manhattan.
We work together as a team, inviting our staff to give feedback on our leadership, communication systems, and anything else they have ideas about improving.
We look forward to meeting you!
