Deliciously Organic
Our Joy of Discovery? It’s Organic.
At The Fresh Market, we’re always looking. Always tasting and uncovering new items that spark joy in the kitchen, fuel creativity in the pantry and bring people together around the table. From bananas to bouillon, we’re always asking the same questions:
Is it the best-tasting version? Is it exciting? Inspiring? A joy to cook with or serve? And, just as importantly: Does it deserve a place at your table?
That’s why our organic selection is so broad (and so delicious). From everyday pantry staples to seasonal produce, premium meat, seafood and farm fresh dairy, our curation process begins and ends with flavor.
It’s not enough to be sustainably produced, clean label or USDA certified organic. If it’s not delicious, nothing else matters.
Why Organic? Here’s the Big Picture
Organic food is grown and produced with careful attention to soil health, biodiversity and sustainability. That means no synthetic pesticides, no artificial fertilizers and no genetically modified ingredients (GMOs). Organic meat, seafood, dairy and eggs adhere to strict animal welfare standards.
When you choose organic at The Fresh Market, you’re not just choosing a certified label. You’re choosing an item that’s been meticulously selected from literally thousands in the marketplace. An item that’s been grown, produced, packaged and handled with care, and one that meets the same high expectations we bring to everything we carry.
We don’t follow trends. We follow taste.
Our approach to organic items, clean label products and specialty producer categories comes from a deep passion for curation. That’s why you’ll find a wide variety of certified organic items throughout our store.
Our passion for organics is matched by our standards. Not every product with an “organic” label makes it onto our shelves. Our team evaluates every item with rigorous care, looking for quality, flavor, sourcing practices, and reliability. We prioritize producers who are transparent, consistent and committed to excellence, not just those who meet the minimum organic criteria.
We also seek out products that bring something unique to the table: standout taste, responsible packaging, ethical supply chains, innovative growing methods and so on. When it comes to organic, we’re as selective as our guests — and that’s a good thing.
We don’t stock organics because they tick a box. We carry them because they happen to be exceptional — in quality, in flavor, in sourcing and in the values they represent.
We evaluate flavor, freshness, consistency, and sourcing integrity. We look for partners and producers who align with our values and who bring something truly special to our Guests. That includes standout items from trusted national names as well as exciting discoveries from emerging producers.
Whether you're cooking for your family, entertaining guests, or just shopping with care, our organic selection is here to support the way you want to eat. We offer organic not because it’s trendy, but because it meets the high standards we set for everything we carry.
From the moment organic items arrive in our stores, we treat them with the same integrity they were grown with. Our team is trained to handle organic and conventional products with care, and we follow best practices to ensure organic integrity at every step. That means proper storage, clear labeling, and employee training to avoid cross-contamination especially in bulk and fresh departments.
Next time you visit, take a closer look at what’s on our shelves. From weekday meals to special moments, you’ll find organic options that are as approachable as they are exceptional.
Organic, Aisle After Aisle
Think organic stops at produce, meat, or dairy? Not here. You’ll find organic in every aisle, not hidden away in a corner. Today, more than 10% of our entire inventory is organic. That’s a significant number that reflects years of thoughtful growth, Guest feedback, and careful sourcing. We’re proud of this depth, and we want our Guests to feel just how accessible and enjoyable organic shopping can be.
At The Fresh Market, organic options are available in nearly every category of the store. That includes:
- Fresh produce and herbs
- Milk, eggs, and dairy alternatives
- Packaged snacks and chips
- Canned vegetables and beans
- Sauces, condiments, and dressings
- Pastas, grains, and boxed goods
- Coffee, tea, and juices
- Frozen entrees, fruits, and sides
- Baby food and wellness items
If it’s part of your everyday routine, there’s a good chance we carry an organic version (and we’re always looking for more).
