Forager [noun] a person or animal that goes out in search of food or provisions of any kind

Dana Nicole Pezza, the owner of The Forager, has crafted a style of her own and she has already proven to be quite an accomplished forager.

She first spread the word with an invitation to preview her local market and cheese shop, brought to you by the owners of Itri Wood Fired Pizza. Dana began with a soft opening to the public before the holidays, and then celebrated with a grand opening on January 5.

Since the soft opening, The Forager has grown its customer base and the buzz has been building.

“It’s been such an amazing outpouring of support. I am truly thankful to be on Mill Street,” she said.

She is so excited to share her melting pot of globally-secured food options in the town she calls home, Bristol Borough.

Dana works with area farms from Delaware, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania “keep it local, local, local”!

She firmly believes in supporting local agriculture and cheese making.

There’s a basket of fresh artisan bread every morning along with local, seasonal farm produce at the store at 300 Mill Street.

Imported grocery items are stocked with EVERYONE in mind. There are organic selections along with Darë Vegan Cheeses, a plant-based cheese collection that offers texture, flavor, and satisfaction, and some delicious gluten free pasta, a great source of protein and dietary fiber.

“We also feature some ingredients and delectable products, soups, and salads, and Bolognese sauces from my husband, Greg’s neighboring Itri,” she said.
