A SIMPLE PHILOSOPHY TO CELEBRATE
"At Natural Grocers, our philosophy is simple: food should come from natural sources and undergo as few modifications as possible," said Raquel Isely, vice president of marketing at Natural Grocers. "We only carry 100% organic produce, and the products we carry on our shelves and in our coolers have been carefully selected to meet our rigorous standards, which prioritize ingredient transparency and exclude numerous additives and ingredients commonly found in conventional grocery products. 

"Organic Month is a chance to celebrate the quality products on our shelves, the practices behind them and the vendors who provide them. It's also an opportunity to help folks discover why and how choosing organic makes a difference. We encourage our customers to read labels, look for the USDA Organic Seal and choose organic when possible because informed consumers make better choices for their health, the health of their communities and the health of our food system."
