Produce

We’ve been selling locally grown produce since the 1930s. Today, we’re buying produce from more than 150 Ohio and Illinois growers and farmers and our abundant assortment of farm-to-table produce led Heinen’s to be ranked as one of the Top 3 Grocers in the nation for produce quality and variety by Consumer Reports in 2019.

Heinen’s Produce Department

Take one look at our produce department and you’ll know that we select the highest quality fruits and vegetables at the peak of freshness. Our produce buyers are experts at finding the finest produce locally, regionally and from around the world by forming one-on-one relationships with farmers and growers. Today, we carry more than 400 varieties of fruits and vegetables, 150 of which are fresh, USDA certified organic.

Much of our produce is found as a result of our decades-long commitment to supporting local farmers and growers. Throughout the year, we proudly offer a wide selection of local organic and other locally grown produce items from our own backyard. These partnerships guarantee products are harvested and delivered to our stores at the height of ripeness, oftentimes arriving the same day they are picked. Moreover, our commitment to building relationships means growers save the top of the crop for our customers.
