Appalachian Grown™ Materials

Using Appalachian Grown promotional materials and packaging informs your customers that what they are buying is certified local. ASAP offers a bulk purchasing program for packaging materials as well as custom options. Free promotional materials are available for partner businesses.

Packaging Materials for Farms

To help offset the cost of increased packaging requirements during the COVID-19 pandemic, Appalachian Grown branded packaging materials are currently available at a 25% discount. This discount is made possible with support from Appalachian Grown Farmer Relief Fund.

Materials must be preordered with pickups scheduled on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from noon to 4 p.m. We cannot accept same-day orders. Please email eva@asapconnections.org at least one day in advance to place your order and arrange payment over the phone. Products (with the exception of wax boxes) can also be shipped; shipping costs apply and will take 10–14 business days to process.
