CNP is excited to announce a new partnership with The Produce Box. The Produce Box sources North Carolina grown produce from small to medium size farmers and delivers boxes to families in several counties across the state. Starting in May 2012, Veggie Van will be delivering for The Produce Box in the the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Area. New and current Veggie Van Subscribers in Chapel Hill-Carrboro will have the option to sign-up with The Produce Box to receive weekly deliveries of fresh North Carolina grown produce right to their workplace.
Working with The Produce Box will not only give our customers more options and flexibility, but will allow us to reach more people and expand to more underserved communities. The Produce Box created a program last season to donate portions of their box sales to CNP. By helping The Produce Box build their community of subscribers, we will also be supporting expansion of the Veggie Van to more underserved communities. Vist The Produce Box website to sign-up now.
