Seward's Co-op's Produce Department is a seasonally focused, information-based department. Our goal is to carry a wide variety of fresh, healthful produce at reasonable prices. We receive multiple deliveries daily and support our local growers as long as the season permits.
 
In addition to carrying a consistent supply of standards (several varieties of carrots, apples and citrus), we also carry seasonal, specialty items (Treviso radicchio, Cippolini onions and scarlet and golden turnips and kumquats).
 
At least one of our 15-member produce staff is always available for questions, comments or requests. We begin work each day at 6 a.m., receiving orders, assessing quality and refurbishing displays. The appearance of the department changes daily and seasonally. Combined, our staff offers more than 100 years in produce, grocery retail and farming experience. For the produce buyer, the challenge is clear: Know what to carry for the day and how much.
 
The vibrancy and aliveness of the Produce Department attests to Seward Co-op’s overall quality and commitment to freshness and quality. Our members appreciate this, and that's what we strive for.
 
One delightful part of our job is meeting and developing relationships with our local growers. We are in contact with more than 30 local providers, many of whom deliver directly to the store. It’s also not unusual for growers to make appearances in the store, getting to know the people who support them — Seward Co-op shoppers!
