Kroger’s Columbus Division’s new “Kroger Sweet Georgia Peaches” initiative brings the sweet fruits straight from Georgia farms to your arms.
These farms include Pearson Farms, which has been a supplier to Kroger for more than 50 years.
The Kroger Sweet Georgia Peaches events begin May 31 and run through August 15. Customers have this seasonal opportunity to purchase 12-pound crates off the truck for $19.99. If you’re curious about when the truck will come to your local Kroger, you can find out at kroger.com.
“We are excited to host Kroger Sweet Georgia Peach events throughout the area and bring the freshest peaches straight from the farm to the truck, with guaranteed freshness,” said Bruce.
Kroger’s Columbus division has pledged to donate 144 crates of peaches to a local charity, which has not yet been named. They also feature crates made from fully recycled materials, in line with Kroger’s Zero Hunger | Zero Waste initiative.
“Kroger’s Sweet Georgia Peaches are a seasonal experience, from the juicy flavor to total freshness. They are hand-picked and hand-packed. We know our customers will feel ‘peachy’ because of their great taste and new wallet-friendly crate size .friendly costs,” said Mark Bruce, corporate affairs manager for Kroger’s Columbus division.
