A Trusted Partner in Specialty Food

Since 1986, Provisions International has been doing one thing well: connecting great food with the people who want to serve it.

We work with independent grocers, food co-ops, specialty markets and foodservice operations across New England and upstate New York, building real relationships with the producers who grow and craft what we carry, and the buyers who put it on shelves and menus.

We’re a 29-person team with over 600 active customers and nearly 100 producer partners. We know our products deeply, we know our territory well, and we show up for our customers in ways that larger distributors simply don’t.

When you work with Provisions International, you’re not getting a catalog. You’re getting a partner.

What Makes Us Different

People who know your account
You’ll have a dedicated rep who knows what you carry, what you need and how to reach you. When something comes up, and it always does, you’re calling a person, not a portal.

Knowledge that goes beyond the catalog
Our team includes certified cheese professionals, culinary veterans and category specialists who love this stuff. We don’t just take your order — we help you find better products, better substitutions and better solutions.

Relationships built to last
We’ve been at this for nearly four decades. Many of our customer and producer relationships go back years — some, generations. That kind of trust doesn’t come from a transaction. It comes from showing up, consistently, over time.

The Story Behind What We Carry

We don’t just distribute food. We represent the people who make it. Every product in our catalog comes from somewhere: a farm, a family, a craft operation that’s spent years getting it right.

We work closely with our producers to bring that story forward, so when you stock a shelf or build a menu, you know exactly what you’re offering and why it matters.
