COLLABORATION GUIDE
Changing Menus to Change Minds

Now that Fiore Di Nonno is a few years old, I’m ready for an expansion. I’m not expanding into a regular cheese shop - I’m growing my business into a community. Grange 27 brings together the things that are most important to me: family history, commitment to craft and dedication to local farms. More importantly it brings local businesses and talented neighbors together to create. Traditionally, granges are places that foster collaboration. Grange 27 is a modern take on a traditional concept. It is a space to gather and celebrate community and craft. We are all connected to the food we eat, but we all know that this very connection is in jeopardy. We need a space to bring people back to the table and engage with the food they eat. I believe in this community. Together we have the power to promote these values. We can teach people about food. We can save farms. We can inspire healthier lifestyles. We can remind people that community is what matters most.Lets make this vision a reality. I look forward to the delicious results of our future collaborations. Happy cooking,
Thank You

We work with chefs including Ana Sortun and Peter McCarthy, creating signature cheeses with unique ingredients like lavander and chili.Together, we can co-create an enviornment where people remember the value of good food.
At Grange 27 we will host exclusive events and curate special menus with local restaurants. The possibilities include everything from a week long pop-up restaurants to one-night VIP event.
At Fiore Di Nonno, we are privi leged to col laborate with some very talented individuals. We are excited to continue this tradition at Grange 27.

Here are some ideas for collaboration, new ideas are always welcome!Community Block Parties: a chance for the neighborhood to celebrateLunch and Learn: share our stories over foodChi ldren’s Events: pass on our sk i l ls to the next
generation
As a child, I was mesmerized by her grandfather’s store, Fiore’s of Hoboken. I watched him carefully stretch fresh mozzarella, anticipating the moment when he would offer me the first bite of freshly made cheese – that warm, buttery magic.After varied career stretching from Le Cirque to Panera Bread, I got to a point where experience and memory collided. Making mozzarel la in the tradition of my grandfather led to the opening of Fiore Di Nonno, and then Grange 27. Local farms supply Grange 27 with fresh curds, so that we can make and serve mozzarella the same day. Especially with mozzarella, nothing beats freshness.
