Fresh, Local Produce from Long Island

One of the best parts of summer is enjoying farm fresh produce. Buying local fresh produce doesn’t just put healthy food on the table for families; it’s also supporting the local economy. King Kullen has been committed to buying locally grown Long Island produce from Long Island farmers for many years.

“Our objective is to provide fresh locally grown produce while reducing our carbon footprint, as well as preserving local farmland for future generations,” said former Vice President of Perishables, Joe Forte.

Every summer and autumn, King Kullen purchases thousands of cases of produce grown on Long Island farms. The season begins in May and ends sometime around Thanksgiving. King Kullen also has signage in-store to promote individual farmers and the crops that they grow. Check out some of our local farmers below to see who supplies produce for King Kullen!
