Produce Power
 The Harris Teeter Farmers Market™ is committed to providing its customers with the widest variety of top quality fruits and vegetables the world has to offer. One of the ways we achieve this commitment daily is by offering a vast array of organic fruits and vegetables.
 Partnering with certified organic farmers who follow the United States Department of Agriculture guidelines for organic farming is a top priority. USDA certification ensures that our organic farmers grow their crops without the use of synthetic pesticides or herbicides and are committed to being good stewards of our environment.
An additional focus for the Harris Teeter Farmers Market is waste and landfill usage, a growing concern that impacts us all. We realize that the use of petroleum based packaging and non degradable containers pollute our environment.
 Harris Teeter and its vendors are continually searching for new innovations in packaging that are environmentally friendly. Our company has recently converted its petroleum based produce bags to a 100% degradable bag. We are also evaluating corn based packaging (PLA) which is being offered by suppliers to replace the current petroleum based type. Harris Teeter is committed to evaluating these new alternatives in packaging and will support their use as they become a viable option.
