Alison Roman’s Store in Upstate New York Curates the Cookbook Author’s Brand Into Something Buyable - Eater
"On Labor Day weekend 2023, Alison Roman soft-opened her pantry store First Bloom in the lowest level of a building that used to house the beloved restaurant Table on Ten. Roman revealed that she had purchased the building for less than $300,000 in the winter of 2020 with plans to sell pantry goods and homemade items like chicken stock that she would make in her kitchen." - Callie Hitchcock

Jane greeted us when we came in on a cloudy Wednesday afternoon, it’s an absolutely beautifully done shop. The selection seemed very artisanal and thoughtfully chosen. Local produce, a lot of dry goods, and snacks.

I was excited to stop by this place upon our first trip in the Bloomville area and remembered how sweet and helpful Dylan had been. So the second time my boyfriend and I were visiting we had to return for more goodies and warm conversation.
Those biscuits with jam and butter, a show stopper. The baguette with ham and mustard was the perfect lunch for our last day in Bloomville.
I’ve been a fan of Alison Roman for a while now and love the assortment and intention behind everything offered at First Bloom. If you’ve never been do yourself a favor and stop by! Whether for sardines, biscuits, baguettes or beans! They’ve got it all!
Again so much love to Dylan!

Stopped in to get some snacks for a hike on the Catskills Scenic Trail. The trail may have been muggy and full of bugs but the snacks were excellent. They make the sour cherry trail mix in house and it was exceptional. No annoying "filler nuts" - perfect trail mix. I also got some really good sesame spelt crackers that were made in the area at middle brook mill. We also got some real Swedish raspberry swedish fish which were fantastic. Everything was great and wonderfully curated.
