Every piece of produce in Natural Grocers is certified organic. Their supplier standards match that commitment.
Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage operates 160+ stores across 21 states, focused on natural and organic products. They are the only major US grocery chain that sells exclusively 100% certified organic produce — no conventional produce at all. This means their supplier requirements include organic certification on top of standard food safety compliance. For organic produce growers, Natural Grocers is a premium, mission-aligned buyer.
Natural Grocers only sells 100% certified organic produce. Suppliers must maintain current organic certification for all products.
Natural Grocers requires a complete supplier and product profile, $1M insurance rider, and quality standards review as part of approval.
All organic produce suppliers must comply with FDA regulations, including FSMA Produce Safety Rule and traceability requirements for FTL items.
