Natural Grocers only provides fresh produce that is 100 percent USDA Certified Organic and has done so since 1989. Their stores feature a mix of national brands and selections of locally produced products. Each store is equipped with a Nutritional Health Coach and free nutrition education classes open to the public.
Natural Grocers exclusively provides meat raised without the use of antibiotics, growth promoters, or feed containing animal by-products. Their pasture-based dairy standards ensure that no products from confinement dairies are on the shelves, providing healthier dairy products to consumers, a better lifestyle for the animals and a more ethical environmental impact. Since going bag-free at checkout in 2009, Natural Grocers is estimated to have saved over 100 million bags from landfills.
Family-run Natural Grocers is committed to providing consumers with affordable, high quality foods and dietary supplements. The stores opening in Phoenix and Chandler will be open seven days a week.
