What Rogers Collection does

Rogers Collection is a privately held U.S. importer and wholesale distributor of artisanal fine foods, founded in 1994 and headquartered in Yarmouth, Maine with a trade-only warehouse in Lyndhurst, New Jersey. The company sources authentic, traditionally produced ingredients from 46+ artisan producers across Europe, the Middle East, South Africa, and the Maghreb, and sells them through distributors to wholesale retail outlets, professional chefs, fine dining establishments, and e-commerce platforms across the United States.

The product portfolio spans 14 food categories including olive oil, vinegars, artisan cheese, charcuterie, seafood, pasta, grains and rice, sauces and preserved produce, olives and fermentations, condiments, Levantine Arab specialties, salts and spices, marmalades and chutneys, and baked goods. Notable producer partnerships include Pio Tosini (Italian charcuterie), Gentile (bronze-cut pasta and panettone), Halen Môn (Welsh sea salt), Les Moulins Mahjoub (Tunisian couscous and preserves), Trikalinos (Greek bottarga), and Fermin (Spanish Iberico), as well as more recent additions such as Cuadrat Valley. The company is NGLCC-certified as an LGBT Business Enterprise and is led by Managing Director Carrie Blakeman.

The business model is wholesale B2B: Rogers Collection imports, warehouses in New Jersey, and distributes to trade buyers via third-party distributors rather than through direct e-commerce or owned retail channels. Revenue is generated through product margins on imported goods, with go-to-market relying on a downloadable trade catalog, content marketing (Travels and Tastes, recipes), and social media presence. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The firm operates with 1-10 employees and has no disclosed external funding, parent company, or M&A activity.
