We need some information from customers as we develop our delivery service with Harvest Co-op. We have a poll that you can take, which will give us some simple feedback!
Its short, easy, and you will help us to build a better service for you.
Thanks, and have a great day!
Hello all-
Welcome to the New Amsterdam Project’s new website and blog.
We are excited for the opportunity to keep you in touch with Project developments, ideas, and projects. It will also be a great place to hear feedback from readers, so don’t be shy with comments!
At the moment we’re busily developing new relationships with organizations in the Boston-metro area, and I’m excited to share information about our developing opportunity with Harvest Co-op. Harvest has two locations centrally located in Jamaica Plain and Cambridge, and both have good pedestrian, bike, and public transportation access.
Here’s where N.A.P. comes in: we want to deliver your groceries from the store to your house. I know there have been plenty of times when I’ve gone a little crazy in the bulk section and then had to lug it all the way home. N.A.P. is developing a delivery option for Harvest that will enable shoppers to arrive, find purchases, and after paying for them they will be collected at Harvest until delivery time. Then (kind of by magic) N.A.P. will transport groceries to your house!
Our electric-assist tricycles can carry up to 800 pounds of cargo, so don’t worry about buying too much. Its a great way to get your groceries home without a carbon footprint or back strain.
We need feedback from customers: when you shop, when would you like groceries delivered, and any questions or comments.
We will begin delivering from the Cambridge store (JP we love you too, and we’re looking to expand in your direction).
Come meet us at the Cambridge store! We will be tabling at Harvest in Cambridge during the coming week. Come chat with us, check out a trike in person, and help us move towards a more pedal-powered future.
Cheers!

New Amsterdam is what we were. New Amsterdam is what we can become. New
Amsterdam can be American cities that are strong, cohesive, clean, safe,
healthy, and vibrant. New Amsterdam can mean movement that is mindful,
fun, sensible, clean, healthy, and constructive. New Amsterdam can refer
to a movement to establish and sustain healthy movement. New Amsterdam
can mean energy independence. New Amsterdam can mean reversing the need
for self-destructive foreign engagements predicated on the need for oil.
New Amsterdam can mean cultivating the health and virtue of our people.
New Amsterdam was our past. New Amsterdam can be our future.
