Green BEAN Delivery, the regions largest online natural and organic grocery delivery service, has announced it is expanding its services to cover residents in Peru.

Beginning at 3 p.m. on Oct. 20, members can shop online from a full selection of local, organic produce and all-natural, artisanal groceries and have them delivered directly to their doorsteps.

We are excited to continue growing throughout our home state of Indiana, providing the Peru community with the freshest produce and thousands of all-natural and local, artisanal groceries, said Shane Towne, president of BEAN, LLC, parent company of Green BEAN Delivery, in a press release.

We take great pride in helping area farmers and artisans showcase their amazing products, each week, in our online grocery store, he said.

One of those local farmers is Mark Boyer, who started the company Healthy Hoosier Oils with his dad at their Converse farm in March 2015. The farm grows sunflowers and canola, which they turn into cooking oil using a cold press.

For around two years, Green BEAN Delivery has distributed their product. Boyer said now, its great to see the delivery service coming to his home turf.

This is a wonderful resource in our community for many healthy and specialty foods that were previously unavailable, he said in an email. Their service is growing, but not yet in many areas with populations the size of ours.

To become a Green BEAN Delivery member, residents can sign up, select their bin preference and delivery frequency, and begin exploring the virtual aisles of the online store. Every order is customizable with members choosing from thousands of organic, all-natural and local and artisanal offerings.

Peru residents who want to become members can register at http://www.greenbeandelivery.com/PeruWabash. The first 50 Peru residents who sign up will receive a special discount of 20-percent off of their first three grocery orders. Membership does not come with contracts or commitments, and delivery is free when the selected bins minimum order is reached.

The company was founded in 2007 by Matt Ewer and his wife, Beth Blessing, who said in press release their goal was to make local, organic produce and natural groceries convenient, affordable and accessible to area communities. Now, the company boasts the Midwest and Souths largest network of farmers and artisans with organic and sustainable practices.

The delivery service also operates a 60-acre organic farm in Sheridan, Indiana, where they grow a wide variety of vegetables and also is home to more than five acres of blueberry bushes. The produce from the farm is included in their bins.

Besides its online service, Green BEAN Delivery has also committed to combating food insecurity by donating over 950,000 pounds of fresh produce to food banks in the communities it serves. They also partner with anti-hunger organizations to increase the flow of fruits, vegetables and grocery items into emergency food assistance programs.
