Vegetable grower strengthens partnerships with local family-operated farms
With demand for locally sourced produce on the rise, Lipman Family Farms is advancing its commitment to family-operated farms through the Lipman Local program. Partnering with small- to medium-sized growers nationwide, the program has evolved over the last decade by expanding acreage, increasing supply and testing innovation tools for data collection to ensure quality, local produce is available year-round.
The program provides local growers fair return on their crop and meets consumer demand for produce picked at the peak of freshness with reduced environmental impact. Lipman’s vast national distribution network enables local growers to sustainably reach communities, reduce food waste and minimize cross-country shipping impacts.
