Admit it. We all struggle to find time to pick up all the items we need from the grocery store or the many farmers markets around town (especially without forgetting something).

Enter: The Carolina Crate, Lowes Foods’ version of a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) box.

It’s super simple: the box of seasonal produce is delivered from small farmers in the Carolinas to your local Lowes Foods store each week, along with recipes + info about the farms you’re supporting.

Sign up for The Carolina Crate until June 4 for a full share (10 weeks plus a free 11th week) at $250 total or a half share (5 weeks) for $125. Each box feeds 2-4 people and includes 6-8 varieties of produce based on what’s in season. It’s a surprise each week – and that’s the fun of the box.

Bonus: If you order a full share, you will also receive a free one-year subscription to Lowes Foods To Go ($99 value), and half shares receive a three-month subscription. You can pick up the boxes in the Lowes Foods To Go drive-thru so you don’t even have to run inside the store.

Whatever you choose, it helps reduce the amount of fuel used to transport the produce from one place to another + supports small farmers in the Carolinas.
