About NFG
Nantucket Food Group is on a mission to change the business of food on Nantucket… and beyond.
So, what does that really mean? Simply put, we want to innovate the way our entrepreneurs approach making and selling food, so there is less risk, and more profit. Shared, fully equipped kitchens used by a diverse set of culinary businesses. More cooperation and collaboration by forming a true community. New ways to sell to customers using the latest online ordering and food locker technology.
What does this mean for food lovers? A one stop shop for the best and newest culinary offerings on the island. Purchase meals and products from several members at once in our online store. Find a chef to make a custom cake, or cater your next party.
