Farmer Street Pantry was inspired by the recent expansion of artisan food, beer and wines in the Central New York and Finger Lakes regions. As a former pastry chef and history teacher, owner Lynne Della Pelle Pascale found it a good time to be a part of our area's culinary evolution.
History was behind our first product-mincemeat. We learned that mincemeat had been made here in Syracuse for almost 100 years, heard that many people across the country had fond memories of family times eating mincemeat pie or cookies, saw that a new generation liked the taste as well, and created an All Fruit formulation without meat but with other traditional ingredients and plenty of local apples, apple cider and maple syrup. We also make a 100% New York State applesauce lightly sweetened with maple, and just launched Orange Sriracha and Lemon Turmeric Salad Dressings.
