Steeped in history, Russ & Daughters has transitioned through four generations, each adding a layer of familial dedication to the business. From Joel Russ's humble beginnings selling herring out of a barrel to the modern-day legacy stewarded by Josh Russ Tupper and Niki Russ Federman, the evolution of Russ & Daughters has been a testament to resilience and quality.
