Natural Grocers has introduced a premium private label line that will launch with over 35 products across 10 categories. It includes items such as pasta sauce made from heirloom tomatoes without added sugars along with organic olive oil that has not been blended or treated with heat or chemicals. The line also includes organic canned vegetables, organic maple syrup, organic frozen fruits, and organic and fair-trade coffee. These items are expected in stores by November.
In addition, Natural Grocers has a pipeline of products slated for release in 2019, including organic and 100 percent grass-fed cheese, organic and free-trade chocolate, organic coconut milk, 100 percent grass-fed beef jerky and organic frozen vegetables.
"We want products that represent our values: hormone and antibiotic-free meats; pasture-based dairy; pasture-raised eggs; no artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, sweeteners, hydrogenated oils or partially hydrogenated oils, and non-GMO. And we make sure that they are priced so that everyone can afford them," says Kemper Isely, Natural Grocers co-president.
