NATHEL & NATHEL · 1922 — TODAY

Fresh produce.
Real relationships.
Since 1922.

1922Established
Est. 1922 · Hunts Point, The Bronx

Four generations.
One market.

Over a century of relationships built where it matters most — from growers who trust us, to customers who count on us, to communities we call home.

A CENTURY ON THE DOCK

Established 1922.
Still here Monday
at 4 a.m.

Founded by Daniel Nathel in partnership with Gashon Wishnatzki, operating first out of the Washington Street Market and on Hunts Point since 1967. The Star of David on our mark is the family's, not a marketing department's.

Our Growers

Long relationships.
Better fruit.

Our partnerships with growers go back generations — some literally to 1922. We work with farms that prize quality, consistency and the next harvest more than the last invoice. From Reedley orchards to Florida strawberry rows.

A century in produce comes down to two things — keep your word, and put the best fruit in the box. Our family has done that for four generations. We don't plan on stopping.
