3 Rivers Natural Grocery is a full line natural foods grocery store with an emphasis on wholesome and delicious food, including local and organic. The heart of our mission is to seek out products that nourish the body while working diligently to make sure that the products you buy are healthy, free of harmful ingredients and additives and processed in an environmentally responsible and humane manner. With these principles in mind, we stock our shelves with products we have carefully chosen with set standards in mind. We strive to bring you products that are fresh, healthy, local and organic.
Our Produce Department carries only fruits and veggies that are 100% Organic Certified and we stock seasonal, organic, locally grown produce whenever it is available. Our salad bar is stocked with those organic veggies and our hot bar and cafe selections are as close to totally organic as our supply will allow. You will find a few conventionally grown items on our shelves as, although we aim to stock the highest quality items, we know getting healthy is a continuum for individuals and families. To look for the products with the highest standards in the natural foods industry, look for the USDA Certified Organic and the Non GMO Project seals on products. 3 Rivers always supports transparency in labeling.
