38 ~Chef's Kiss~ Prime Day Food & Kitchen Deals You Won't Want To Miss

Buzz Feed09-07-2025
Amazon Prime Day is here! There are more deals than you could ever begin to look through on your own...so that's where we come in.
55% off a candy apple red Moccamaster drip coffee machine that'll become your most bragged-about gadget thanks to how beautifully it'll match your kitchen decor — it comes in over 23 colors, but this one is the most deeply discounted! The brewing basket will stop the flow of coffee the moment you remove the carafe and the carafe itself has a hot plate to keep coffee hot as long as necessary.
Heather: My husband, a coffee connoisseur, has assured me in the "coffee community" this machine is regarded as one (if not THE) best drip coffee machines on the market. I mean, it does boast the ability to brew between a half or full carafe, a brew basket that automatically stops the flow of coffee when removing the carafe (no mess!), and a hotplate with an independent heating element to keep coffee at the *perfect* temperature. But for me? It's the color options. There are SO many to choose from — there's no doubt in my mind anyone would be able to find an option that would look great in their home. I actually *do* own one in my home (it's fabulous) and it does all that it says it will. It's certainly lived up to our expectations — and we drink a lot of coffee as parents of two little ones under the age of 4.Promising review: "This beautiful little Moccamaster brews a fabulous cup of coffee. It's truly barista quality! I love the aesthetics of it — I purchased it in the off white and it is very pleasing to the eyes, does not take up a lot of space, but most of all, the delicious cup of coffee that I get to enjoy every morning is just the thing I need to start off my day. If you're in the market for a new brewer, give this one a try. You won't regret it, I know I don't." —Amazon CustomerPrice: $179.99 (originally $359; available in an array of other colors for up to 30% off)
Up to 40% off select colors of 40-ounce Stanley Quenchers (with select colors 45% off with a lightning deal) — because if you're going to add to your collection or hop on the Emotional Support Water Bottle bandwagon, you might as well save a few bucks while you're at it.
Promising review: "I used to make fun of people for using these Stanley cups; I always thought they were overpriced and overhyped. But I purchased this for my little sister who is in nursing school, and she takes this thing with her everywhere!!! All she does is rave about how amazing it is! So I bought one as well, and they really are amazing products. Made super well, they keep ice in them for hours and hours! Super comfortable to hold in your hand, not too heavy or bulky. Easy to clean and seem to be super durable. I've dropped mine I don't even know how many times now, and not a single mark! They also don't leak easy at all. Unless you're holding it completely upside down, even then it doesn't leak fast. Super happy!" —Jon & Katie SeversPrice: $27 (originally $45; deal available on select colors, including fuchsia, almond rose, shale, and stargaze) and shop all the Stanley deals here
20% off a set of three Great Jones nesting bowls (that've never been on sale before). They're retro-leaning *but* microwave- and dishwasher-safe so you can get the best of both worlds without finagling a recipe with a single mixing bowl.
This set (which is sold by the brand) is new to Amazon but has tons of glowing reviews on the brand's website. Price: $80 (originally $110 (this set is $110 on the brand's site); available in two styles)
46% off a KitchenAid food processor (a new lowest-ever price) that takes care of all your ingredient prep needs — it can chop, puree, shred aaand slice with easy, thanks to the interchangeable slicing/shredding disks and blades. You can put the cutting board away. Btw, all the accessories are dishwasher-safe!
Promising review: "My Hamilton Beach processor broke while grating cheese 🙄 I didn't really like it but it did the job. I thought it was just extremely lightweight overall. This one has a much sturdier base, 3 grating attachments. The top attaches easily. Someone else commented on how you have to be careful when you flip open the top, the thing that pushes food down will come out. That's true, but it's not a dealbreaker, as I just remove it before opening. The motor is much quieter than the HB in my opinion. Overall I'm glad I spent the extra money and hope I get good use out of it. I've always liked Kitchen Aid products. This also came well packaged." —702dessertmomPrice: $69.99 (originally $129.99) — and shop all the KitchenAid deals here
34% off Dawn Powerwash Dish Spray — which means you'll get lots and LOTS of help with making that pile of dirty dishes in your kitchen sink disappear. (I'm a big fan of the original formula.)
It includes four bottles and one nozzle. Promising review: "Dawn Platinum Powerwash Dish Spray is my new go-to for tackling grease efficiently. It's fast, easy to use, versatile, and smells fresh—plus, the refillable bundle saves money and reduces plastic. Highly recommended for busy kitchens or anyone who hates scrubbing!" —Zaily BPrice: $11.61 (originally $17.50)
20% off a fast-acting, refillable plug-in fly trap for flies, fruit flies, moths, and gnats that works up to 400 feet by using a light to lure them. The best part?? The "trap" part is on the back, so you don't have to behold a little bug graveyard in your kitchen when you flick on the lights in the morning. This is a no-brainer *add to cart* item.
Check out a TikTok of the plug-in fly trap in action.Promising review: "I can't say enough wonderful things about these handy little bug catchers! They are simple to use, cheap to refill, and catch a ton of small bugs and flies. I have eight of them now, all around my house! It's a little gross how many tiny flying insects are around…but it makes me feel a lot better now that I have these!" —Chris H. Price: $11.39 (typically $15; also available as a two-pack)
20% off a set of 24 Rubbermaid Brilliance containers (they've only been this cheap one other time in the past year) and made of BPA-free Tritan plastic that's designed to *stay* crystal clear and not absorb any odors. They are truly leak-proof (perfect for meal prep or lunches!) and have built-in venting lids for easy reheating.
Promising review: "For nearly all of my adult life, I was simply getting Gladware or Ziplock, letting them slowly deteriorate over the course of a few months, recycling them (or losing them), lather, rinse, repeat. It finally occurred to me to splurge on some good ones. I'm not one to review things very often, let alone food storage containers, but here we are. I've been so impressed and satisfied with these in just a few months that I feel compelled to tell y'all about them. They're super airtight, the plastic is crystal clear, and they've each been through the wash a dozen times with no particular sign of wear and tear yet. Usually by this point, the Ziplocs are cloudy, warped, have holes, etc. But these guys, they just keep ticking. We've put soup directly in them, frozen them, you name it. Worth the extra few bucks to keep a few more items out of the landfill." —Eric BeneauPrice: $43.99 (originally $54.99; smaller sets are also on sale) — and check out all the Rubbermaid deals here
30% off a bag of firecracker Liquid I.V. electrolyte drink mix that'll just taste like the popsicle. But lots of other flavors are on sale, too!
FYI, depending on your situation, water may be enough to rehydrate you! Read more about electrolyte-enhanced drinks and hydration at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "Liquid I.V. does an amazing job hydrating. I purchase their product for 40+ employees who work in a construction-related industry. Hydration is so important while working in the hot Georgia Sun, and this product aids in this 100%. Now, let's talk about the firecracker flavor! When we produced these for our crew, ages 23–60, all of their eyes lit up, and they were super excited. Many of them did not know this flavor existed. Quite honestly, I didn't either until I came across them on Amazon. They all loved the flavor. In particular, the ones who were older kept telling me it tasted like their childhood. Seriously, who hasn't stood outside an ice cream truck ordering the Firecracker Popsicle?" —Disney DivaPrice: $16.54 for 16 packets (typically $23.62; available in 10 more flavors)
20% off the Shark Steam & Scrub steam mop with two rotating microfiber pads (they deliver 150 ~scrubs per minute~), easy maneuvering, and headlights built in so you can see every stuck-on particle and sticky stain that's in your path before it gets wiped away. And you don't even need cleaning solution to sanitize your floors after your kid spills soup all over the kitchen floor.
It's safe to use on all sealed floors, including hardwood, marble, tile, and stone.Promising review: "I have four kids and two dogs and have struggled to keep my hardwood floors looking clean. This steamer takes minutes to use. It warms up in seconds and instantly has my floors spotless and without excess water. They dry quickly. Then simply throw the cleaning pads into the wash on a gentle cycle and air dry. I wish I had bought this years ago!!" —ValeriePromising review: "I generally don't take time to write reviews...however, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this steam mop. It has a ton of power, is lightweight, and incredibly easy to put together. It did a great job on my vinyl floors. I will be purchasing another one for my mom and one for my daughter's apartment. Such a great device! Floors haven't smelled this clean since they were originally installed!" —Amazon CustomerPrice: $119.99 (originally $149.99) — and check out all the Shark deals here
40% off a Vitamix Propel 750 blender (a new lowest-ever price!) with all the reviewer-beloved Vitamix features (quality build, super-fast and thorough blending, easy cleanup) with *five* preset options — smoothie, hot soup, frozen dessert, dips and spreads, and self-cleaning — to make whipping up meals and treats even easier.
Promising review: "Bought this product on sale, and it was worth the investment. It blends better than any other blender that I have had. Its multiple options allow for anything from smoothies to purees. I love that I can make soup with this blender. It has plenty of power and a large enough volume to make plenty for a small household. It is also easy to clean! If it is on sale, and you need a better blender, I definitely recommend it. Otherwise, it is very expensive at full price." —Daniel & AmandaPrice: $379.95 (originally $629.95; if you see a "regular" price of $577.76, it's from a third-party seller, not direct from Vitamix/Amazon; available in four colors) — and shop all the Vitamix deals here!The Vitamix Propel 510 is also 40% off, which brings it down to $50 cheaper than its previous lowest price — now $299.95!
31% off a large Brita water pitcher with a 10-cup capacity because it's pretty tough to meet your family's hydration goals with water that tastes...let's just say, at best, funky.
Promising review: "I was getting tired of lugging heavy packs of bottled water home, not to mention my growing concern about the plastic waste in the landfills. After a lot of research, I settled on this one and have not been disappointed. I was concerned about the taste as we don't have the best water in my city. However, I have been extremely pleased with the taste and how fast it filters the water. I would recommend this to anyone." —Double R Price: $28.99 (originally $41.98)

Up to 39% off an Instant Pot Vortex Plus air fryer for anyone who's allergic to cooking but wants to eat something other than takeout and microwave meals. And given all its features — not only is it an air fryer, but it can also broil, roast, dehydrate, bake, and reheat — even self-proclaimed cooking enjoyers may find themselves using this gadget instead of their oven!
Promising review: "I do all the cooking in our house, and I was debating about purchasing an air fryer. I had heard good things about them, but I just did not see myself using an air fryer all that much. I figured it was just another high-priced kitchen gadget that would end up gathering dust. I did a lot of research and watched a YouTube video from America's Test Kitchen where this air fryer came in number one. I decided to purchase this air fryer. I can tell you after a couple of months that I use this product at a minimum of 4 or 5 times a week! I have made pork chops, steaks, and chicken breasts, and it is great for reheating items. But the winner is two things. It makes the very best bacon with little mess, and it makes chicken wings perfectly. I purchased some Buffalo Wild Wings sauces, and my family has buffalo wing night every couple of weeks for one-fourth the cost of going out. It is also very easy to clean and almost no mess at all. If you are considering buying an air fryer, take the leap and get this one. I could truly not recommend it more highly." —wwrrmm1953Price: $64.99+ (typically $106.37+; available in two sizes) — and shop all the Instant Pot deals here
Or if you're cooking for one, 40% off a nonstick 2.6-quart Dash air fryer (tied for its best price ever) that'll transform how you eat leftover fries without hogging all your counterspace.
It has three saved preset buttons and has a simple digital interface that allows you to choose from 200-400°F and up to 60 minutes. Also has an auto-shut-off function to prevent overcooking and a cool-touch handle.Promising review: "This is the perfect air fryer. I have tried several sizes and brands, and they were always too big or didn't work well. The Dash makes chicken and French fries in less than 10 minutes. They are crispy and delicious. Cleaning is a breeze, and the design is great for our space. We got this during Prime's early sale, so it was a great value for our money." —Kristen06Price: $35.99+ (originally $59.99; discount available for two colors)
35% off a Nespresso Vertuo Plus (cheaper than it's been in a full year) so you can enjoy a lovely high-quality coffee beverage (it makes single and double espressos AND 5-, 8-, and 12-ounce coffees) while saving serious moolah. This one's designed to fit small kitchens, too! Trust me, the amount of money you'll save on Dunkin/Starbies alone will make this a worthwhile investment.
Promising review: "I love an iced white chocolate mocha latte, and now I can make them at home. I love the Nespresso machine so much that I use it every day. It is a little loud, but I don't care. It makes the best espressos. The little tray is super easy to clean off and actually catches the drips at the end. I really like how the water container can move around to fit wherever you need it to go. It gets hot enough to melt the chocolate chips I put in my cup. This is great. It helps me save money on coffee, and I can tell it's pretty durable! I use it at least two times a day, and I've never had any issues with it opening or closing." —Kyra MalkowskiPrice: $109.85 (originally $169)
33% off a Ninja Artisan Outdoor Pizza Oven (the lowest price ever!) with an impressive 5-in-1 functionality that can make pizza, bake, broil, warm, and proof. Once it's preheated, you'll have restaurant-quality pies with melty, gooey cheese ready to devour in just three minutes. Choose from various settings to get your preferred pizza style, whether it be pan, thin crust, New York, Neapolitan, or custom. I bet you'll appreciate the chef's view window that allows you to watch your masterpiece while it cooks...try not to drool all over the place. 🤤
It includes the pizza oven, a 12" x 12" pizza stone, 12" x 12" bake pan, and quick start guide with inspiration recipes!Promising review: "Wow, what a powerful oven. I divided the pizza dough into three sections and cooked pizza at three temperatures to find the best combination, after using the dough recipe in the included book. I liked the 550 temperature because the crust was not overly cooked or undercooked. You definitely can not walk away from the oven or get busy making another pizza as it cooks super fast. It's best to test out the oven to find your sweet spot. I'm in love with the versatility of this oven. I've been wanting to cook more pizza outside in the summer to reduce heating the house. Highly recommend this oven " —BrooksPrice: $199.95 (originally $299.99) — and shop all the Ninja deals here
30% off a Dash My Mug ice cream maker that'll easily make ice cream, gelato, sorbet, and frozen yogurt galore — all you have to do is freeze the base for 24 hours, and then you'll be able to whip up your icy, delicious concoctions in 20 minutes. This comes with two bowls so you can even make two flavors at a time!
Promising review: "The best little ice cream maker that ever was. I used this to make dairy-free ice cream and look at it!! It tastes as good as it looks!! The price is good. It is super easy to use, easy to clean, and easy to store. It's small and compact and doesn't take up a huge amount of space. We got the double bowl one because we have two kids and it's great. Hands down a summer fave!" —ShabanaPrice: $27.99 for the maker and two bowls (originally $39.99; also available with one bowl) — and shop all the Dash deals here.
30% off a three-pack of Chrissy Teigen Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix that you only have to add butter and egg to for an at-home treat that could be mistaken for one from a TikTok-famous bakery with a criminally long line.
Promising review: "These are so good. Blend of salt and sugar, perfect." —Rochelle GreenbergPrice: $24.50 (originally $35)
20% off a splurgeworthy Breville Barista Touch espresso machine — matching its best price — that is deceptively easy to use, offers lots of customization options, and makes a damn good coffee.
BuzzFeed editor Melanie Aman says, "My partner and I had been on the fence about upgrading our coffee setup to include an espresso machine, but were always a bit leery about the price. Would we use it enough to make it worth it? Would it be a hassle to use? Would it take up a good chunk of our kitchen counters? Let me say that we are kicking ourselves for not getting one sooner! While this was a very thoughtful gift for my partner's birthday from his family, it is truly worth the price tag and is something I would totally repurchase with my own money if I ever needed to. We've used it pretty much every day since we got it, which means that the amount we've saved on espresso drinks at NYC coffee shops has pretty much covered the price of the machine. TBH, I don't even want to go get coffee elsewhere unless it's a super fancy, seasonal latte that I can't make at home.Using the machine is incredibly easy: It turns on with the push of a button and is ready to use in seconds — no waiting 20 minutes for the machine to warm up! The touchscreen, which I didn't think I needed initially, is a huge reason that I would recommend splurging on this model over its cheaper cousin, the Breville Barista Express (which is also on sale and a fan favorite, so still a solid option!). It's nice to toggle through the menu to select the drink you want. And the touchscreen walks you through each step, so the process doesn't seem so intimidating. You can even save custom drinks once you find the settings you like. We haven't had the machine long enough to have to descale it, but given how easy every other part of using and cleaning this machine is, I'm not super concerned.This has been a truly delightful addition to my kitchen, and if you're on the fence like I was, do it, do it, do it! You will not regret it!Price: $799.95 (originally $999.95; available in three colors)
20% off some Death Wish Instant Coffee Packets so downright (dare I say, DANGEROUSLY) delicious that even the biggest coffee snobs you know might trade in their precious pour-overs. That is, if they can handle the 300mg of caffeine per cup 👀.
Note: According to the Mayo Clinic, up to 400mg of caffeine is safe for most healthy adults. Check out a TikTok of the Deathwish Instant Coffee in action. (Also I read at least one review of someone PUTTING THIS IN THEIR MORNING SMOOTHIE, some of you are WILD.) Death Wish Coffee is a small business that specializes in coffee pods, grounds, whole beans, and more. Promising review: "So let me start by saying that this coffee is delicious and works if you're someone like me who wants to stay awake. I work night shifts at a hospital, and in the mornings, when I get home, I'm quite tired and sleepy. I made myself a cup of coffee and waited for it to work. Now let me tell y'all!!! This coffee kept me awake for hours!! BOY, WAS I WOWED INDEED … best believe I went ahead and ordered three more boxes. This is now my to-go coffee if I need a BOOST!!!!!! If you like coffee and want to stay awake, then BUY THIS COFFEE!!! I'm happy I no longer have to take naps to get re-energized." —nancyPrice: $8.79 for a ten-pack (originally $10.99)

The pot also includes silicone Hot Grips and a Beechwood Scraper.Promising review: "This is love at first sight. This pot is amazing for rice, cereals, soups, etc. Gives an interesting flavor. It's a bit heavy but its made to last. The lid seals perfectly and given the fact that it's heavy it will keep the heat perfectly. Color is as in the picture. Really good value for the money." —MariaReyesPrice: $115 (originally $150; available in two colors) — and shop all the Our Place deals here

What's included: Dream Cooker, cooker base, locking lid, inner cooking pot, condensation collector, and detachable power cord. Promising review: "The Our Place Dream Cooker not only looks pretty, but it works very well. I like the simplicity of the controls on this cooker. It will definitely allow me to get rid of my old Crock-Pot, and so far I like that it Sears and cooks in the same pot. I will try the pressure cooker function next. I am impressed!" —J.A.Price: $159 (originally $199; available in four colors)
30% off the BuzzFeed Goodful All-in-One Pan, because this lightweight yet heavy-duty nonstick pan can be used as everything from a sauté pan and stockpot to a wok, skillet, and braiser.

Promising review: "We bought this a few weeks ago since we have been hearing so much about them and let me tell you, these are the best thing to come around since sliced bread. Basically we haven't had anything to eat in two weeks that hasn't been made in the Instant Pot. The pot itself comes with a recipe book and there are so many more online and we are yet to find a recipe that isn't amazing. The build of the Pot is super sturdy as well. highly recommend." —Thomas DPrice: $69.99 (originally $129.95)

With this, you can spend the summer sippin' your way through the produce aisle at your grocery store instead of spending precious time waiting in line at your local juicery.
This is designed with double-layer filters and a 7-stage spiral auger to help avoid heat generation and oxidation. Promising review: "Game changer! Super quick to use as there's no need to peel or dice everything. Super quick to clean – just a few parts! I juiced a pineapple and three apples in under five minutes. Can't beat that!" —Jordan HillPrice: $129.99 (originally $189.99; available in two colors)
29% off Oxo's compact Cold Brew Rapid Brewer to make cheap, delicious cold brew in FIVE MINUTES (!!) with results so quick and delicious that reviewers love it more than their beloved Aeropresses (and even call it "Aeropress 2.0").

48% off a "Gracula" garlic crusher in case you loooooove garlic, but for some reason have been using a regular old knife (or boring crusher) to satisfy your garlic cravings. Here's your excuse to make a ghoulishly useful investment.
Promising review: "I love this little guy. I found him on a BuzzFeed list and had to have it as soon as I saw it! I've minced as many as five cloves in it in seconds. It's a little tricky getting all of the garlic out once minced (I use a silicone basting brush to get most of it, but I always use more than the recipe calls for anyway, so it's not a deal breaker). Cleanup is a breeze because he goes right in the dishwasher!" —BarbiePrice: $9.95 (typically $18.99)
Plus, 33% off a Grim Steeper silicone tea infuser to remind you that life is, in fact, too short to skip on your delicious morning cuppa.

Promising review: "This may be my favorite purchase of the year. I can't ever seem to time hard-boiled eggs right, even though it should be so easy.

I can make hard-boiled eggs, soft-boiled eggs, medium-boiled eggs, and I can even make the easiest little omelette, and I don't need the stove! This little device makes it so easy for me to start my day off with a healthy, protein-filled breakfast. I love this thing." —Amy LPrice: $11.99 (originally $14.99) — and shop all the Tasty deals here.
37% off a collapsible Magic Mushroom funnel so you can feel like an enchanted forest nymph while you funnel your coffee, wine, baking ingredients, or mystical potions.

I juice a lot of citrus and juices for cocktails, and this little guy is the perfect size for bottling. It's beyond cute and really great quality. I'm always hesitant about buying silicone items, as I don't want them to be too thin. This is perfect! Sturdy and cute! Can't get better than that! The perfect addition to any cottagecore kitchen!" —Abbey KlemPrice: $9.45+ (typically $14.95; available in two sizes)
27% off a set of bear claw oven mitts as a perfect safety solution for your paws.
Promising review: "These are adorable and well made. The dark brown pads are silicone. Now, when I take something out of the oven, I tell my husband I made it with my 'bear' hands." —LesliePrice: $15.99 (typically $23.99)
20% off some Built's "Puff Protein Bars" that are more or less chocolate-covered marshmallows that pack in 17 grams of protein without the weird protein-bar aftertaste.
My colleague Emma Lord is a HUGE fan: "If you are also someone who is in a perpetual state of, "I need protein or I will bite someone's brain off," I am telling you, nothing in this WORLD will feel better than pulling one of these out of your bag. I'm a walking cliché of Woman In Her Mid-30s Who Is Very Obsessed With Protein, since it took me three decades to realize I'm in a much better mood all day if I cram it in at every opportunity. I'm very, VERY picky about the protein bars I'll eat — Barebells and Nick's are my go-tos — and these Built bars knocked it out of the park! They have a truly marshmallow-like consistency and the most ridiculously satisfying texture and chewiness. The flavors I've tried have all been spot-on, and they don't leave any kind of aftertaste. I am perpetually out and about and in need of a snack, so I have one of these in my purse at all times!"Price: $23.99+ for a pack of 12 (typically $29.99; discount available in four flavors)
20% off a set of espresso martini mix packetsthat make this cocktail staple a little TOO easy to recreate at home — all you need to do is add vodka and water, and BOOM. That's that, you espresso.
Craftmix is a small business that specializes in instant drink mixers.Promising review: "Excellent! I was so surprised how tasty this mix is. This tastes like it is made with fresh espresso." —RandiePrice: $13.59 (typically $16.99; available in eight other flavors and a variety pack)
Up to 21% off an automatic food dispenser so you no longer have to worry if you've fed your fur baby or not. It holds up to 50 portions and can release food up to six times a day!
Promising review: "The mechanism is so quiet, it makes no more sound than I did when I would feed her manually. Add that to the programmable portion sizes and meal schedule, and this actually solves *two* of my problems: my cat's desire to have breakfast at 5 AM and her tendency to eat too much and then throw up. I can set this to give her a half-portion at 5 and then follow it up a few hours later with a second half-portion to get her through to dinner. All the wins!" —Chris GalbreathPrice: $54.99+ (typically $69.98; available in two colors and a model with a camera)
20% off a retro-style snow cone machine that'll simply make your backyard the most popular place on the BLOCK this summer. 'Tis the season to get lawless with flavoring syrups, condensed milk, and delicious combos galore.
Promising review: "Perfect for the kids! Great way to make a nice treat to help cool the kids down during the hot summer days. My kids are able to use it even to sell snow cones and make a little extra money. Perfect size, works great, easy to clean, inexpensive, and easy to maintain. Not that loud when using it and it makes the perfect texture needed for a perfect snow cone." —Mary Ann WylerPrice: $39.99 (typically $49.99, available in two colors)
20% off Copper Cow Coffee Vietnamese Pour Over Coffee with Sweetened Condensed Milk Creamer will become a need — not a want — once you try this delish stuff. It might just be a way to lure yourself into fixing more coffee at home. (You might recognize it from Shark Tank.)
I've tried all their pour-over coffee varieties and they are SO good. This is a small, woman-founded biz!Promising review: "I love the coffee pouch that goes over the top of your mug. Slowly pour boiling water and smell delicious Vietnamese coffee. Love the condensed milk pouch. If you like it strong, add 4 oz. of water. Definitely will buy more. You can take it camping or backpacking and enjoy delicious coffee. Love the salted caramel." —ThundurluisPrice: supplies for 15 coffees for $36 (originally $45)

How a jazz drummer from Montreal is building a bustling farm business in rural N.B.

On a quiet country road in Stanley, north of Fredericton, overlooking the densely forested Nashwaak Valley, is nestled an unassuming little farm where some bold moves are being made. "Our idea when we first started was to be able to produce everything that a family would need for a year," said Louis St-Pierre, owner-operator of Earth to Belly Homestead. Now, the 1½ acres he farms with his partner, Courtney Atyeo, both 31, and seven other employees are also producing enough vegetables, eggs, chicken, pork and baked goods to fill weekly meal boxes for 120 customers and make another few hundred sales in local stores. St-Pierre would like to keep adding garden beds and growing his direct client base to between 3,000 and 4,000 within the next five or six years. WATCH | Homesteader bullish on growing to 4,000 customers: "I'm pretty confident with 10 to 15 acres in vegetable production we'd be able to do that," he said. "And two or three bigger greenhouses." Selling directly means Earth to Belly doesn't have to settle for wholesale prices or supply the large quantities required for contracts with grocery store chains. "It basically allows us to get maximum dollars for what we're selling," St-Pierre said. It takes a pretty big crew to pull it off, including a driver who delivers the boxes by truck throughout the Nashwaak Valley, the Fredericton area and Saint John. "It's a big logistical nightmare, but … it's a format that works for us," he said. Earth to Belly started doing meal boxes two years ago with 15 customers. Last year, the farm supplied 80 customers for 16 weeks. This year, it's filling 120 boxes for 30 weeks and plans to keep the program going on an every-other-week schedule over the winter. St-Pierre bought the 50-acre former Flying Shoe Farm property less than eight years ago and has been steadily building a profitable, modern small-scale farm business. He and Atyeo have several fields in production, two greenhouses, a plant nursery, half a dozen chicken coops, a commercial kitchen, a vegetable washing and storage area and a pottery studio. In one greenhouse, they grow cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, turmeric and ginger — which generate about 30 per cent of the farm's vegetable income, St-Pierre said. The greenhouses and plant nursery are heated to some extent year round, which is costly, but increases the yields four fold, he said. The heating, cooling and watering systems — for the plants and the animals — are all automatic and some have remote control by app. Also helping to reduce St-Pierre's workload are two managers, one for the fields and one for the tomato greenhouse. Field manager Adam Jeffrey is originally from the area, but has experience farming in B.C. Finding workers is tough, Jeffrey said. "Consumers have to recognize the value of this kind of farming in order to support living wages on the farm," he said. Instead of pesticide, Earth to Belly uses nets in the fields and predatory insects in the greenhouse. For fertilizer, they use pelleted chicken manure and their own compost. Jeffrey is working to create a bio-complete compost so that eventually they won't have to till. Fertilizer is applied in the greenhouse weekly instead of the "old school" method of front loading at the start of the season. It's a little more work, but gives the plants what they need to bear a lot of fruit, St-Pierre said. "A commercial conventional farm gets about a fifth to a tenth the production we get per square foot," he said. That calculation is based on getting two or three crops per season and fitting five or six rows in the space that would be required for one row on a farm that uses a tractor, he explained. Last year, 18.6 kilograms of cherry tomatoes were harvested per square metre in the greenhouse, added St-Pierre. By virtue of not using tractors, artificial fertilizers, pesticides or fungicides, they've also avoided recent cost increases. Five years ago, their prices were 30 to 40 per cent higher than grocery store alternatives, said St-Pierre. Now, they're equal or below. Farm boxes are selling for $135/week. 'Huge' market opportunity It's a great time to get into small-scale farming, in St-Pierre's view. "The market is booming, and it's going to be expanding over the next few years," he said. "There's not enough food being produced in New Brunswick. If you are able to bring a good quality product to market, there will be people to buy it." But farming is not for everyone, he warned. For starters, St-Pierre estimates it would take $150,000 to $200,000 plus the cost of land. Renting might be a better option for starting out, he suggested. It also takes business and science know-how. He spends about 20 hours a week on marketing, advertising, looking at reports and making sure money is well spent. When it comes to things like crop yields, density and plant pathology, St-Pierre reads a lot, experiments and consults outside experts weekly. "Awesome" resources are available through the government, he said. Even armed with knowledge, you still have to be willing to take risks, said St-Pierre, who is well-practiced in the art. It was quite a leap to reinvent himself as a rural New Brunswick farmer after growing up in the suburbs of Montreal, studying music and working as a touring musician. The transformation began when he spent a couple of months between gigs living "on frogs and squirrels" in his father's woodlot. He got to Stanley via a posting on the World Wide Work on Organic Farms website ( and within a couple of years he had taken over the farm. St-Pierre and Atyeo lived in a tiny home while the business got going, "roughing it" with an outhouse, supplementing their diet with hunting and gardening and selling eggs to pay for fuel and other things. Today, they can live more comfortably in a regular sized house with their two-year-old child, close to nature and extended family. Carving out personal time is essential, said St-Pierre, who has seen some of his farming friends burn out. It's all feasible, he said. "You just have to plan it."

China's Inaction Deepens Peril for Struggling Property Stocks

Investors are growing skeptical that Chinese developer stocks will stage a rebound this year, as Beijing's reluctance to unleash sweeping stimulus deepens pessimism about the sector. A gauge of developers' shares notched its biggest weekly drop in four months after a key meeting on Tuesday failed to yield any concrete measures to revive the industry. Property sales are likely to remain weak in the third quarter, with better-than-expected economic growth data undermining the case for stimulus in the near term, according to Morgan Stanley.
