Company description

Founded by chef Dan Barber of Blue Hill and Blue Hill at Stone Barns, Row 7 is a seed-to-table food company dedicated to deliciousness in everything we grow and make. Built by a community of chefs, farmers, plant breeders, and plant eaters, we strive to make ingredients taste better before they ever hit a plate. It’s a collaboration—a cross-pollination—based on a simple premise: flavor can succeed where commodification has failed. We believe flavor can change how we eat and, in turn, how we grow our food. Row 7 launched a line of branded organic vegetables for sale in grocery stores in the Northeast in 2022, expanded nationwide in the fall of 2024, and will introduce ready-to-eat vegetables in early 2025.
