About Organics
About Organics
USDA-certified organic foods are grown and processed according to federal guidelines that address factors such as soil quality, animal husbandry, pest and weed control, and the use of additives. Organic produce is grown in soil that has had no prohibited substances, such as synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, applied for three years prior to harvest. Organic meat regulations require that animals are raised in living conditions that accommodate their natural behaviors, like the ability to graze on pasture. Organic livestock are fed 100% organic feed and forage, and antibiotics or hormones are not administered.

Good to Know: Beyond the Label
Along with the thousands of certified organic products we carry in our markets, we are also proud to offer pesticide-free hydroponic and soil-free selections. These products are not eligible for certified organic inspection and certification because they are not grown in soil, which is a requirement of the Certified Organic program. We also work closely with small growers and producers that may not yet be able to afford the costs associated with organic accreditation.
