Walmart continues to grow its organic assortment with help from emerging brands. Long viewed as the go-to retailer for cheap, mass-market products, Walmart has been steadily carrying more products from emerging brands that focus on organic and natural products. The strategy goes back to the early 2000s when the company began carrying organic produce and groceries to appeal to higher-income shoppers. But since then, the organic movement has grown beyond groceries. Now, in recent years, Walmart has started carrying more emerging brands, in more categories, that make organic, sustainable, or clean ingredients a selling point. North End Organic Nursery promotes organic gardening. “Our mission is to be a completely organic garden center.. “Inside we have an extensive selection of organic fertilizers and many house plants. This helps us through the winter months when there’s not much growing outside.” In summer their business is famous for a large selection of certified organic vegetables. “We grow more than 400 types of vegetable starts for people — everything from peppers and tomatoes to eggplants, cucumbers, etc.” Not all dairy products are created equal! If you have yet to buy organic, now may be the time to switch. “Organic” isn’t just a slogan or a fancy marketing term — it’s backed by National Organic Program standards. These standards are a set of rules established by the United States Department of Agriculture to ensure that organic agricultural products are produced, handled, and labeled correctly. Let Organic Valley guide you through the dairy world and share its top five reasons organic is a game changer. A national public hearing is being held to consider and take evidence on proposals to amend the pricing formulas in the 11 Federal Milk Marketing Orders. The event — which will take place Aug. 23 at a conference center outside of Indianapolis — could run for weeks and will be the largest public hearing on federal milk pricing in 20 years. Unfortunately, Organic will be left out of this meeting. Places like Boulder, Colorado, and Northern California are often championed as engines of innovation within the natural and organic products industry—and for good reason. Legions of brands have sprouted and spread roots in these spots. But an awful lot of organic pioneers call the Northeast home, from the Rodale Institute in Kutztown, Pennsylvania, to Stonyfield Farm in Londonderry, New Hampshire. With Natural Products Expo East taking place in Philadelphia, we are spotlighting the many businesses in and around the city that make it a destination for everything organic.
