Georgia Grown celebrates partnership with Subway restaurants

Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary W. Black and Subway’s Joe Hart are celebrating the second year of their partnership to promote Georgia Grown produce in Subway restaurants in Atlanta and Northeast Georgia.

“We are very excited to once again have this opportunity to partner with Georgia’s largest restaurant chain,” said Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary W. Black. “This promotional campaign exemplifies what the Georgia Grown program is and can be. The brand has the power to bridge that gap of what the consumers want and what the farmer is already offering – wholesome, local products produced right here in Georgia.”

Subway restaurants buy more than 8 million pounds of Georgia grown tomatoes, cucumbers and green peppers a year. The Georgia Grown partnership is a way to communicate Subway’s commitment to sourcing local produce. Subway will support the Georgia Grown campaign with point-of-sale displays, billboards and TV and radio ads.
