IDAHO FALLS — If you’re looking to give organic foods a try — now might be a good time.

Natural Grocers is preparing to celebrate its own Organic Month, which also falls in line with National Organic Harvest Month in September.

“For the month of September Natural Grocers is going to be highlighting organics,” body care specialist Chanelle McCoy says.

During its organic month the Idaho Falls grocery store will be providing information to the community about the benefits of organics and also holding special promotions.

“We love providing health education to people, helping certain people understand why certain aspects of health are important,” vitamin supplement specialist Chrystal McDowell says.

Specialists at Natural Grocers say choosing organic food over conventional grocery items increases health and protects the body from unknown toxins.

“When you add hormones and different things to meats and vegetables and fruit, it becomes part of you. It impedes your ability to digest properly and different aspects of nutrition,” McCoy says. “What you feed your body is what you are, literally on a cellular level.”

Chrystal McDowell the vitamin supplements manager says the store not only has organic food, but vitamin supplements, body care products, and many things for your everyday health needs.

“We try to make the best quality stuff as affordable as possible to people. I know a lot of people are nervous about organics, and healthy products, and health food stores in general because they tend to be pricier,” McDowell says. We try to make sure we have a median range for everyone.”

Natural Grocers is excited to celebrate, and will be starting off its organic month with a free giveaway.

“Sep. 1 we will be offering a free organic apples, and a bag for the first 400 customers in the store. Throughout the month we will have different sales and different information that you can ask for,” McCoy says.
