Local proteins, produce, seafood, and wagyu direct to consumers

"I order from JV Foods' expanded consumer offerings — a huge menu including Louisiana wagyu, five cuts of steak, more than 20 seafood items, poultry, and some produce — via Facebook message or text (504-416-7228 or 504-343-0316); curbside pickup is available at their Kenner warehouse (Monday–Friday 8 a.m.–2:30 p.m., Saturday 8 a.m.–noon) and they handle deliveries for orders over $150." - Clair Lorell

"Once a wholesaler that delivered to about 400 restaurants across the South, I found JV Foods has pivoted to selling a huge menu directly to consumers — Louisiana wagyu, five cuts of steak, more than 20 seafood items, poultry, and some produce — after slowly starting home deliveries in late March and then implementing an ordering system for curbside pickup or deliveries for orders over $150; a typical customer is French Quarter seafood destination GW Fins, whose head chef Michael Nelson even visited the warehouse to help promote the shift." - Clair Lorell
