Natural and organic food sales are on the rise. Whether they’re bonafide health fanatics or just looking for healthier options to add to the rotation, many shoppers today are focused on eating healthy and are increasingly turning to the organic and natural food sections for their groceries. Organic food sales grew by roughly 2% to $57.5 billion last year, according to the Organic Trade Association. Shannon Family of Wines is proud to announce the release of their first CCOF Certified Organic wines this April. These wines are from grapes grown on our high-elevation Lake County Certified Organic Estate Vineyards located in the mountains of California’s North Coast at altitudes of 1,500 to 2,300 feet. Tractor Beverage Co. is showing the benefits of organic farming with a customer-facing tracker that details the number of synthetic pesticides avoided in the creation of its beverages, the brand CMO Justin Herber told FoodNavigator-USA at the Natural Products Expo West event earlier this month. Recoup is the first beverage brand to become Regenerative Organic Certified by the Regenerative Organic Alliance (ROA) across its entire portfolio. Regenerative Organic Certified is an agricultural certification for food, fiber, and personal care ingredients. Based on three pillars, it requires farmers to go above and beyond by practicing agricultural techniques that ensure healthy soil, the ethical and humane treatment of animals, and fairness for farmers & workers. It was created to address the global climate crisis, soil degradation, biodiversity loss, factory farming, and fractured rural economies. Recoup has a long-standing commitment to quality ingredients and ethical practices; the brand is also USDA Organic Certified, non-GMO Project verified, and Kosher certified. In 2022, Recoup removed honey from their products to be a vegan brand and align with their “pro-pollinator” stance. Clint Bland is not trying to feed the whole country with his farm. What he is trying to do is provide local customers with food grown with organic methods, something that both farmers and consumers are turning their interest towards. Bland’s farm is part of a wider growth of organic farming in the United States. A 2019 article from Pew Research Center found that between 2011 and 2016, the number of organic farms in the country jumped 56% to over 14,000. In the same time frame, sales of certified organic goods more than doubled, from $3.5 billion in 2011 to almost $7.6 billion in 2016.
