The Pesto Stand

The Pesto Stand is a Westchester, New York, brand making fresh pesto with locally grown produce and a focus on quality ingredients. Its core recipe combines basil, garlic, salt, walnuts, nutritional yeast, and single-origin Italian extra virgin olive oil. The pesto is vegan and gluten-free, with no additives, gums, or unnecessary ingredients.

The range includes a classic Genovese basil pesto, a half-basil, half-chive blend, an arugula version with red pepper flakes, and a mix of lacinato kale and black truffle oil. To help preserve freshness, the brand freezes each batch immediately after production and sells it frozen, so customers can keep it for months and have it ready for meals or unexpected guests.

Customers can find The Pesto Stand at Rye Farmers Market on Sundays and Amagansett Farmers Market on Fridays. Its pesto is also available at June & Ho, located on Purchase Street in Rye. The brand invites customers to explore its flavors and join its “pesto party.”.
