About LocaLI Bred curated by Trellus
LocaLI Bred’s story began with a shared passion for local artisans, a bond between two transplants to Long Island, and a vision to celebrate the Island's vibrant community of makers. Today, "LocaLI Bred curated by Trellus” marks a new chapter in the journey, where the spirit of Long Island meets the power of Trellus Same-Day Local Delivery & Marketplace.

Our Roots
LocaLI Bred was founded in 2018 by Theresa Pinelli and Halie Geller, two moms who met while navigating the challenges of parenthood in a new place. Bonding over their status as Brooklyn transplants and their marriages to native Long Islanders, they embarked on a mission to shine a light on Long Island's best artisans and makers. Their curated gift boxes became a symbol of Long Island pride, bridging the gap between newcomers and natives. |
The Acquisition
In February 2024, LocaLI Bred was acquired by Trellus Same-Day Local Delivery & Marketplace, a Long Island-based startup dedicated to supporting local businesses. LocaLI Bred curated by Trellus continues the mission with even more vigor, leveraging the resources and driver network of Trellus to expand reach and impact.
A Strong Partnership
Led by a team of small business owners, Trellus shares a commitment to the local community. With a track record of delivering over 90,000 packages and serving over 450 small businesses across Long Island and Westchester County, Trellus provides the infrastructure and technology needed for same-day delivery. Trellus provides the solutions for choosing local over Amazon and big-box stores.
The Next Chapter
