Support Your Local Community
We define "local" producers as within the state of Iowa, or 250 straight-line miles of our stores.
New Pi stands apart from our competitors in the way we do business with local growers: we sign purchase contracts with our vegetable growers, providing a guaranteed price for their product, before seeds even go in the ground. Our purchase contracts offer our growers a degree of certainty in an otherwise unpredictable climate.
