With nearly half or more of all shoppers buying perishables such as meat, produce and dairy items online, Perdue Farms has launched a new e-commerce website that will offer a selection of its family of brands for sale directly to consumers at PerdueFarms.com.
The site will initially offer an assortment of frozen items across some of Perdue’s most popular brands including Niman Ranch, Coleman Natural, Sonoma Red and Skagit Red, with plans to add additional offering over time as demand increases.
“As both online shipping and the demand for convenience show no signs of slowing down, we felt it was important to be in this space. We’re excited that this is the first time we’ve been able to offer so many of our brands in one place, nationally. Now, consumers all over the country will be able to enjoy expanded offerings from our portfolio regardless of where they live, including heritage, organic, pasture-raised, pork, beef, chicken or lamb – all raised with no antibiotics ever by farm families with the highest standard of animal care,” said David Zucker, Perdue Farms senior vice president of e-commerce and new ventures.
All packaging from online orders is 100% recyclable. The foam insulation is made from water-soluble cornstarch, which can be composted or even disintegrated under running water and safely rinsed down a kitchen sink.
With each sale that goes through this new website, Perdue Farms will donate to the Arbor Day Foundation to help offset the shipment’s carbon footprint, which will equate to removing more than 70 pounds of CO2 from the atmosphere per order.
