Specialty retailer Natural Grocers is pleased to help raise awareness towards Organic Month with discounts on organic products, community educational efforts, and much more.
Customers can save money and learn more about the organic food movement, while trying new organic recipes, products and produce samples throughout the month of September.
Throughout the month, customers can enjoy special savings on products that reflect Natural Grocers’ commitment to organic practices, plus three days of extra shopping incentives with amazing savings and additional promotions, September 14-16.
“Organic Month is one of our favorite celebrations of the year. It’s a chance for us to illuminate our commitment to Quality and our Always Affordable Pricing, two of Our Five Founding Principles,” said Raquel Isely, Vice President of Marketing for Natural Grocers. “We only carry 100% USDA Certified Organic produce, and every product that is on our shelves must go through a rigorous screening and approval process to make certain it adheres to our standards. We also work hard to secure the best possible pricing, as it’s important to us that everyone has access to quality organic and natural products. This helps communities thrive, and helps our planet thrive, too.
“As the nation’s Organic Month Headquarters, we delight in educating our customers about organic food and products – what it really means to have this certification. And most of all, we love it when folks learn that buying and eating organic food can be affordable.”
Throughout the month of September, customers can enjoy special saving on products that reflect Natural Grocers’ commitment to organic practices such as:
- All nine varieties of Natural Grocers® Brand Organic Coffees, including new flavored blends; Hazelnut, French Vanilla and Espresso Roast.

Organic Advocacy
For the eighth year as America’s Organic Headquarters, Natural Grocers is raising dollars and awareness for Beyond Pesticides, a 501(c)3 nonprofit advocacy and grassroots organization that aims to protect public health and the environment by leading the transition to a world free of toxic pesticides. Natural Grocers will raise funds in September for the Organic Parks Project with Beyond Pesticides with the following in-store fundraising opportunities:
- For every limited-edition Organic Month reusable shopping bag sold, Natural Grocers will donate $1 to Beyond Pesticides.
- For every Ladybug Zip Pouch sold retail, Natural Grocers will donate $2 to Beyond Pesticides.
Organic Education
“What is organic?” and “Why choose organic” are two common questions we hear from consumers. Natural Grocers aims to answer these questions and more throughout the month of September.
- Organic Month Facts from Natural Grocers – Here are some reasons why Natural Grocers believes supporting organic is better for human health, the environment and the economy.
- “For the Love of Organics: Apeel™” – Organics are about transparency, about knowing exactly what goes into (and what doesn’t go into) the production of the foods we eat. This article reflects Natural Grocers’ concern over the product, Apeel, a post-harvest fungicide coating that has been approved for use on organic produce.
- “The Dirty Dozen & Reclaiming Your Plates with Organic” – Each year, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) publishes a Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce™ after a thorough analysis of the USDA’s fruit and vegetable testing data. Learn more about this list and how to reclaim your plates and savor the goodness of nature, the way it was meant to be enjoyed: pesticide-free.
