Natural Grocers, a chain 100 percent organic grocery store, opened its doors on North Belt Highway in St. Joseph Tuesday.
People lined up as early as 4:30 a.m. for the grand opening.
“Having a place that I can go to get that and I know that it’s good, It’s really nice having it in St. Joseph because we used to have actually to drive to get to it,” Natural Grocers shopper Chandra Traxler said.
The store manager said the organic food featured at Natural Grocers is healthier.
“The 100 percent organic food here doesn’t have actually any GMOs or pesticides. Everything you eat here is clean food,” Natural Grocers Manager Andrea Ashe said.
One organic food enthusiast said, after going organic, she feels more energized.
“A store like this helps you make a connection along with your food. You eat good, healthy food that your body knows what to do with. It’s nutrient-dense. It’s organic, It’s natural and that in turn gives you natural energy,” organic food enthusiast Louisa Barbier said.
Valerie Jacobson is a nutritionist at Good Food. She was diagnosed along with a form of breast cancer and doctors told her she would certainly not have actually much time left to live. However, she decided to try changing her eating habits.
“I walked from there and I changed from eating anything that I wanted to a raw foods, organic, locally grown diet,” Jacobson said.
Years later, Jacobson is alive and healthy. She said organic food was her medicine.
