We create rustic yet elegant dishes that celebrate the flavors of the natural ingredients. We make many of our own breads, syrups, pickles, jams, dressings, and sauces. And when we don't, we source from the artisanal producers that we believe are the most talented and ethical of New York.  We consciously step away from our culture's industrialized agriculture, over-processing, and fast food— and instead, work with organic and "slow" ingredients from local farms whenever possible. 

Unlike most other catering companies, Harvest & Revel doesn’t have set menus because we customize every menu that we create, responding to the vision of each client.

Directed by this vision, we draw upon the ingredients and flavors being offered by the current season to design a memorable and delicious culinary experience— with integrity at every point of the process.

Sara Elise
Owner + Creative director

Sara Elise is an entrepreneur and wellness advocate residing in Brooklyn, NY. As a transplant to one of New York City’s major food deserts, Sara was inspired to help transform her community’s relationship to affordable, locally sourced foods.

While working in Private Wealth Management after business school, Sara started to explore food as a tool for self-care and healing. Through this exploration, Sara began hosting “Seasonal Tasting Events,” an invitation for community members to experience an authentically rustic, slow, and organic relationship to the crops harvested for the empowerment and reclamation of self, and community. Continuing with the mission of using all natural, organic, locally sourced, and seasonal ingredients— Sara would grow to found Bed Stuy Kitchen in 2012— reborn as Harvest & Revel in 2016.

With her background in both financial services and personal nutrition & wellness, Sara and her team at Harvest & Revel are helping their clients, and community, elevate to their fullest selves— one nutritious meal, and conversation, at a time.
