Natural Grocers expands craft beer and wine offerings to Medford

LAKEWOOD, Colo., June 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- National organic and natural retailer Natural Grocers will soon expand its Cottage Wine and Craft Beer concept to the Medford-area Natural Grocers store. Beginning June 13, customers can explore the Natural Grocers Cottage Wine and Craft BeerSM section – a nook within the store where customers can purchase specialty alcoholic beverages such as local, organic and gluten-free beer, organic and biodynamic wine, local hard cider and alcoholic kombucha.

Natural Grocers expands craft beer and wine offerings to Medford, Oregon.

The company is strategically focused on carrying local products in its wine and craft beer section in an effort to showcase beer and wine producers committed to maintaining the highest quality standards and certifications. Natural Grocers only sells wine that is made with organic grapes, USDA Certified Organic (or equivalent) or certified Demeter® Biodynamic®. In addition, all wine is non-genetically modified (non-GMO). All beer and cider must be produced in the Pacific Northwest and be certified USDA Organic or gluten-free.

"From produce to supplements, every product we sell meets rigorous quality standards, and our wine and craft beer offerings are no exception," said Natural Grocers Co-President Kemper Isely. "Oregon residents can trust that we've done our homework to source only the highest-quality craft beer, wine and organic groceries to their neighborhood store, and we believe they won't find this anywhere else."

Natural Grocers unveiled the Cottage Wine and Craft Beer concept in Denver in August 2017, and recently announced the expansion of the concept to six Oregon stores. 

Natural Grocers currently operates 12 stores in Oregon, offering 100-percent organic produce, meat humanely raised without antibiotics, hormones or other growth promoters, 100-percent free-range eggs, 100-percent pasture-based dairy, GMO-free prepackaged bulk products, groceries that don't contain any artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners or preservatives and more.
