Locally Grown, Markon Approved
A first-of-its-kind food service initiative, Markon Local takes advantage of your regional growing season and supplies you with Markon-approval local produce when it’s available.
Designed to deliver the safe, Markon-quality produce you expect, Markon Local sources products from local farms right in your community.Â
How Does Markon Local Work?
Step 1: If you are a Markon customer, you’ll start receiving Markon Local produce on a regional basis.
Step 2: That regionally in-season produce will come from thoroughly vetted local farms that adhere to Markon’s strict quality and safety standards and specifications.
Step 3: All local produce will arrive in the local farm’s packaging and have a Markon-approved sticker applied to the box.
Step 4: Once your local growing season is over, you’ll seamlessly go back to receiving our non-regional produce-just like you always have.
The 5-Star Food Safety Audit Program checks specifications and gathers information during inspections conducted at all crucial points in the production process.
