Sourcing local isn’t just a trend, it’s a core part of how we do business.
Our Locally Grown Program connects us with hundreds of farmers and producers across the region, allowing us to bring our customers the freshest seasonal offerings while supporting the local agricultural community. Each week, we stay in close communication with our farm partners to track harvest updates, crop availability, and growing conditions. This boots-on-the-ground insight helps us plan ahead, adapt quickly, and deliver a wide variety of high-quality, locally grown products.

Locally Purchased Program
Our Locally Purchased Program helps schools bring fresh, local food to the table while supporting the regional economy and promoting sustainability. By partnering directly with local farms and producers, we ensure schools meet their sourcing goals, comply with local purchasing initiatives, and invest in their own communities. Every dollar spent through the program helps keep farms thriving, reduces environmental impact, and teaches students the value of knowing where their food comes from.
