Chelsea Market Baskets is part of the New York wholesale food market, Chelsea Market. Our offices and showroom along with a retail space are part of this innovative market that includes many leading New York food companies. Our retail space allows us the opportunity to test products as well as giving us a platform to present the full range of our brands. Both our retail web site (chelseamarketbaskets.com) and this site (cmb-wholesale.com) help to educate and build brand awareness and sell product.

David Porat heads the company, which was organized in 1997 with the opening of the Chelsea Market. It was developed from a smaller company begun in 1993. David previously worked for over 10 years for both Bloomingdale's and Macy's and his responsibilities included developing food brands and products sourced internationally. Specialty food has been a life long interest for him and it is exciting for him that his work is his true passion. He and Fine Food Marketing are committed to continue to develop superior food products.

Key Items

Best selling items include our well-received Cheese Wafers, Lemon Curd, Marmalades/Jams/Jellies in many variations, Preserves, Cookies or English Biscuits, Chutneys, Confections, and Juices. Many of our best-selling items come from small-batch producers who are interested in the quality not the quantity produced. We seek to source out and offer to the U.S. Market items which are both "old-fashioned" and "new-fashioned" simultaneously.
