Farmstead, the first online grocer to offer fresh, high-quality groceries, delivered for free, at better prices than local supermarkets, announced today that it is actively seeking new locally sourced food items for its inventory – including both fresh produce and shelf-stable items. To that end, it has launched a new ‘Local First’ program intended to help recruit new local food purveyors.
Already, Farmstead is known for curating the best online selection of locally sourced food, from brands such as Alexandre Family Farm, Niman Ranch and Straus Family Creamery that rely on Farmstead as an important distribution channel. With a recent influx of national brands like Kraft to its inventory, Farmstead is now seeking more local vendors to maintain a healthy balance of national and local foods for its customers.
