Natural Grocers Celebrates Organic Month
Natural Grocers is celebrating Organic Month by offering its shoppers a host of special events throughout September, including discounts on organic products and educational opportunities focused on the organic movement.
The grocer will also showcase several private label products as it offers product samples and organic recipes to its customers.
"We've been advocates of organic agriculture long before it was officially regulated by the USDA," said Raquel Isely, vice president of Marketing at Natural Grocers. "Our original produce department was 100% organic, even though that little green and white seal wasn't yet a reality. By choosing to prioritize organic products as a retailer, we positively impact the way food in our nation is grown and raised.”
From September 6 through September 28, Natural Grocers is offering savings on products company officials said reflect its dedication to organic practices.
Among the items on sale are nine varieties of Natural Grocers Brand Organic Wood Fired Pizzas, including three new gourmet flavors; Organic Grilled Red Peppers, Red Onion, and Feta Pizza; Organic Seasoned Champignon Mushroom and Tomato Pizza; and Organic Tomato and Pesto Sauce with Arugula Pizza ($7.99/13.2 oz each).
Additionally, from September 12 to 14, Natural Grocers will offer free samples of a selection of products. Among the highlights will be the first 200 shoppers on September 12 received a sample size packet of Natural Grocers Brand organic coffee.
"The current organic system is a work in progress, but it's the most transparent verification of food quality and agricultural practices that we have available,” said Isely. “The USDA organic seal provides traceability and accountability that conventional food production lacks. Natural Grocers proudly offers organic products for many reasons – Organic Month is a chance to showcase these products and the beneficial practices behind them.”
