LANDOVER, MD - Connecting with local farmers, Giant Food is bringing back its program offering Local Produce Boxes. The relaunch aligns with Giant’s commitment to bring the freshest fare to shoppers—and to highlight local produce as a strategic investment.

“Giant’s first summer of offering the Local Produce Boxes was a huge success and our customers loved knowing that their produce was sourced locally by the best farms around our area,” said Adenike Olaleye, Senior Manager of e-Commerce Merchandising. “We’re working with more farmers this year to offer an even wider range of produce options that will keep our customers pleased week after week.”

The Local Produce Boxes are available throughout the summer at a retail price of $20 and contain six or more items.

As noted in a release, items will vary weekly depending on farm harvests and what is in season.

Giant’s Local Produce Boxes offering exemplifies the retailer’s mission to increase food traceability and transparency, as well as make healthy and locally sourced foods accessible to its customers.

Some of the farms participating in the program include Baugher’s Orchards and Houser Produce Farm of Maryland, Papen Farms and Fifer Orchards of Delaware, and Kirby Farms of Virginia.
