Harana Market sells lutong bahay
(homestyle) Filipino food and
a selection of Asian groceries.
Family Owned,
Family Operated.
Chris grew up in their Lola’s (AKA Mama’s) kitchen learning Filipino ingredients and technique and, at 17, left San Diego for culinary school to pursue their love of feeding people. Eva is born-and-raised in the Hudson Valley and, dreaming of one day being a small business owner, focused her studies on international business and hospitality management. Our careers have since taken us in all sorts of directions, including San Francisco, where we met on a dance floor, and got married at the iconic San Francisco City Hall.
Food has been at the center of our relationship from the beginning. And it always seems to be at the center of all of our travel, family gatherings, celebrations and otherwise. It is a kind of love language for us; and we hope you feel that when you experience Harana Market.
It is a privilege to return back to our roots and Harana Market is a culmination of our lifetime of experience and joy. Especially in such divisive times, Harana Market works to contribute to a more positive and uplifting Asian-American narrative.
We are a mission-driven company and we see our business as a for-profit-for-good entity, with a “rising tides lifts all boats” ethos. We prioritize sourcing our stock from Asian and BIPOC owned companies and we believe in re-investing our money into other minority-owned businesses. We do not take without giving back and indiscriminately contributing to the community is an integral part of our business.
Thank you for supporting us.
Acknowledgements.
We acknowledge that the land on which Harana Market stands is the traditional territory of the Munsee Lenape tribe.
If your family, like ours, is not indigenous to the Munsee Lenape territory, you are a settler, or a guest.
We all must remain accountable to the land and the Munsee Lenape people as beneficiaries of the violence that make it for us to be here.
We acknowledge the earliest inhabitants of the Philippines and the people and culture indigenous to the islands.
We acknowledge and honor the long history of colonization and forced occupation that native Filipinos have experienced by Spain, the United States and Japan.
We acknowledge the intersection of the many identities that Filipino people hold and that a lot of the food known today as “Filipino food” has a long, complex history of Colonization and anti-brownness.
We acknowledge the privileges we hold that have afforded us a lifetime of advantages; including this opportunity to live and own a business in the Hudson Valley.
We acknowledge that this country is built on the emotional and physical labor of Black people. We acknowledge the racist and prejudiced systems that perpetuate within our society that attempt to disenfranchise and disempower Black and Indigenous Americans.
We acknowledge the long line of Transgender humans who sacrificed their safety and comfort in order to progress the rights of Queer and Transgender people.
We acknowledge these things and seek to contribute to a society that is just and equitable for all, especially those in our community most marginalized by the white supremacist ideals and colonial mindset that infiltrate our country and modern society.
