Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage (Lakewood, CO) is celebrating Organic Month (September) 2025 with sales on organic products, community education and fundraising efforts with Rodale Institute. Customers can learn about the organic food movement while trying new organic recipes, 100 percent organic produce and other organic offerings throughout the store.
Rodale Institute is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to growing the regenerative organic agricultural movement for more than 70 years. Natural Grocers partnered with the organization in 2024. Through September, customers can join Natural Grocers in directly contributing to Rodale Institute’s Farmer Training programs.
“The Institute is honored to celebrate Organic Month with Natural Grocers and its customers. Investments in our nonprofit’s work fuel a future food system built on healthy soil and grown by expert regenerative organic farmers who contribute to wellness in their communities,” said Rodale Institute CEO Jeff Tkach.
Natural Grocers aims to raise $100,000 by Sept. 30 through several in-store fundraising opportunities. The company will donate $1 for every limited-edition shopping bag sold and every Ladybug Zip Pouch sold the company will donate $2. Customers can also make contributions of $1, $5 or $10 upon checkout at any of the 169 locations nationwide.
“Organic Month is one of our favorite times of the year because it brings together two things we care deeply about: quality and accessibility,” said Raquel Isely, vice president of marketing at Natural Grocers. “We love showing that organic products aren’t just friendlier for people, animals and the planet—they can also be budget-friendly. With our Always AffordableSM Prices and our four-day deals, we invite everyone to celebrate with us and discover that organic living is practical, affordable and within reach.”
