December 2014 – Over the past two years, NCGT and Lowes Foods have worked in partnership to connect producers and store managers to bring more authentically homegrown North Carolina products into Lowes Foods stores. Now the company is adding eggs to the mix.
Demand has varied across the five stores that piloted the first direct-store-delivery of local eggs, says Krista Morgan, Lowes Foods Locally Grown Accounts Representative and NCGT Lowes Foods Liaison. “Typically, local eggs have a higher sale price, but for stores with a particular customer mix, they sell like crazy,” she says.
Lowes Foods is looking to connect with egg producers around the state who are able to provide farm fresh eggs directly to one or more Lowes Foods stores. For more information, contact Krista Morgan at krista.morgan@lowesfoods.com
