Institutional Buying
Welcome to GROWN Locally Institutional Sales!
Welcome to our Institutional
Purchasing Area! This is the place for local insititutional food service
buyers and other professionals in the field to order products from GROWN
Locally for use in your kitchens. We have a history in our region for
selling high quality, locally produced, fresh goods direct from our farms
at prices that compare to larger, well-known distributors.
Ordering is easy by using your login information and checking the list of current inventory. You will notice that there are many more options than just receiving product in its raw state. We now offer a long list of light processing procedures which are done in our licensed processing facility to save you time in the kitchen and for us to be able to get you products in the state in which you need them.
Additonally, we continue to add more products from local producers so you have more choices when planning meals and special events. Please feel free to suggest new products you would like to source locally and we will work with you to find them.
The bottom line is that, by making purchases from GROWN Locally, you will be receiving product which is picked fresh - a vast majority of time the products are picked the same day you receive them - and delivered washed and in a sanitary condition in industry-standard boxing. Also, your purchases are delivered by the folks who grow the food you receive. We do not have any people between you and the growers. We are the growers, we own the cooperative and all the pride in our products is saved for us. We believe in creating strong working relationships with our customers - whether food service or individual families. We do not sell anything beyond our immediate region because quality is the most important issue. We do not grow food for mass markets. We grow food for you. That is how we want it, how we like it, and how it is going to stay.
