What is Neal & Nettie’s?
Neal & Nettie’s is an innovative food initiative dedicated to bringing affordable, culturally relevant, and nutritious food to underserved communities. Until we can open a brick-and-mortar grocery store, we are using creative approaches like virtual cooking classes, pop-ups, and community partnerships to make fresh food more accessible.
The elephant symbolizes strength, unity, and compassion—all values that drive Neal & Nettie’s. My grandmother, Neal & Nettie’s daughter, was a potter and loved making elephants, which became a meaningful representation of our family’s legacy.
