Giant Offers Locally Grown Summer Produce Delivered In Boxes

VIRGINIA/DC —Giant Food is now offering delivery of Local Produce Boxes that will be filled with locally sourced produce. The boxes will be available throughout the summer and can be purchased online through Giant Delivers.

Customers can participate in the program without purchasing a subscription. The boxes retail for $20 and will contain six or more unique items from local farms in Virginia, Maryland and Delaware.

Items will vary weekly depending on farm harvests and what is in season. Customers can view local produce seasonality in a calendar on GiantFood.com.

More than 20 farms are participating, including Kirby Farms of Virginia and Miller Farms, Houser Produce Farm, Calloway Bros and Shlagel Farms of Maryland.

"At Giant, we know our customers appreciate fresh and seasonal produce when they are in-store or ordering online just as much as we do," said Gregg Dorazio, director of e-commerce at Giant Food. "We look forward to bringing these specially curated Local Produce Boxes featuring summer's tastiest produce to our customers."

Giant Delivers, formerly known as Peapod by Giant, will deliver the produce boxes to customers' doorsteps.

The produce boxes are part of Giant's 2021 goal to work with 70 new farms in Virginia and 20 new farms in Maryland.
