Giant Launches 'Buy Local' Campaign In Montgomery County

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, PA — Giant is launching a new program at their supermarkets across Montgomery County and Pennsylvania to make it easier for customers to identify and purchase local foods.

The new Buy Local intiative will highlight items made in Pennsylvania with a "PA Preferred" tag. More than 900 items, raning from meat and poultry and pet food to condiments, snacks and beer will receive the tag.

"It’s a win-win for consumers and the agriculture industry alike," Secretary of Agriculture Russell Redding said in a statement. "And will help shoppers better connect their food to the farm, helping to strengthen the relationship Pennsylvanians have with local producers.”

Supporting locally sourced goods has numerous benefits: it supports the Pennsylvania economy and Pennsylvania agriculture, while also supporting more sustainable and eco-friendly practices.

PA Preferred is a Department of Agriculture program that highlights the state's products.

Here's where Giant's located in Montgomery County:

• 50 E. Wynnewood Road, Wynnewood
• 1201 Knapp Road, North Wales
• 737 Huntingdon Pike, Huntingdon Valley
• 1874 Bethlehem Pike, Flourtown
