The new cans with domed top and smaller opening increases capacity, prevents spillage and deters rats.

Irving Farm, founded on Irving Place in 1996, has expanded with it's first Upper East Side location and seventh overall. The 1700 square foot space is its largest. The space is visually appealing with high ceilings, brick walls, hardwood floors- more like a loft than a store. Simply put- it's hip!
