At Food City we're very picky about our produce. Between the time we get the produce from the farmers and the time you pick it in our store, we do more to maximize and maintain freshness than most other grocery stores.

We’re picky about produce… just like you

Between the time we get the produce from the farmers and the time you pick it in our store, we do more to maximize and maintain freshness than most other grocery stores. The ripening process begins at our distribution center, which reduces the time from harvest to the store. Our produce experts cull the department every few hours to ensure freshness, even washing and crisping the produce whenever necessary. If you’re wondering why we’re so picky, it’s so that you don’t have to be.

From the farm to Food City

Whether our produce comes from the international marketplace or the farm right up the road, we take a lot of pride in the relationship we have with the farmers. We understand the passion they pour into their produce, and the same passion is carried into our produce department.
