Default NY Metro Area Specialty Food Distributors?

Our fledgling company is expanding and we need to find a reliable wholesale distributor of specialty and natural foods.
We've tried United Natural Foods and Tree of Life, but their minimum orders are too high and required deliveries too frequent for us to manage in our current location.

Can anyone recommend a small distributor who carries specialty cheeses, bulk organic grains, chocolate, oils, spices, vinegars, jams, IQF fruit and baking ingredients?

In NC there was a terrific company called Cornucopia who delivered a couple days / week and had a wonderful inventory and terrific, intelligent service.

Know anyone in the NY area like them?

Since I posted this and no one replied, I've kept researching to find the kind of distributor of specialty products I need.
Finally! Woo-Hoo! I found them! Adventures in Food out of the Albany area.
They have a terrific list of cheeses, grains, spices, game, and other hard to find items.
Thought I'd post, just in case someone else in the area might be looking for this kind of thing too.
Here is their website:
