The Organic Grocer Expands into Penrith and the Blue Mountains

It is safe to say that the increased use of additives, preservatives and pesticides in the processing of our food worries a growing number of consumers. Many people concerned with the high levels of chemicals currently in our food have begun to take an interest in organic produce as a way to ensure healthy eating. Although the vast majority of people would prefer to consume organic food (http://www.theorganicgrocer.com.au), finding reliable outlets who sell the product can prove to be difficult.

The Organic Grocer is a certified organic produce provider based in Sydney, who has recently merged with The Organic Family business, creating an efficient source of produce. Lisa Malen, Manager of The Organic Grocer sheds some light on their recent merger: We are excited about our merger with The Organic Family, because it widens the services and expertise we can provide our valued customers. We are a certified organic produce provider and the merger will allow us to expand our operation into Penrith and the Blue Mountains (http://www.theorganicgrocer.com.au).

The merger comes at a time when a high profile takeover of the Australian organic produce retailer Macro by a famous high-profile food chain has left a question mark over the future options for organic produce consumers across the country. Lisa Malen reassures their customers that The Organic Grocer is not following down the same path: Our merger was completed out of the necessity to provide our customers with more options and products, and is nothing to do with money or profit. Since Macro is now officially defunct, we are strengthening our resolve to provide an alternative for consumers who seek a reliable certified organic produce provider to fill the void.

The Macro situation has benefited The Organic Grocer to a certain extent, because the high profile nature of the takeover has heightened interest in the organic food (http://www.theorganicgrocer.com.au) market. People are beginning to educate themselves about the chemicals added to everyday products in our supermarkets and want to know more. As Lisa Malen explained: We are currently inundated with questions from consumers who want to learn more about organic food, and how it benefits them and the environment. It gives them peace of mind to know farmers do not use any pesticides when growing organic produce, thus providing many health benefits. Some people don'st realise that organic farmers must be accredited for their produce to be classified as organic.

Fresh produce that is certified organic is safe to eat. The ever-growing fascination with keeping our bodies healthy is providing the ideal platform for growth in the organic food industry. The internet has ensured consumers can research all options before purchasing organic produce. We have changed our system completely, said Malen. Our customers can now order our certificated organic produce online, which provides more options to choose from. We want to assure our current customers that our original ordering process has not changed, but we have added more products and ordering options via our website. We offer consumers over 800 organic products, from fresh fruit and vegetables, to organic milk and yoghurts, all of which can be viewed and ordered at our website: theorganicgrocer.com.au (http://www.theorganicgrocer.com.au).

With The Organic Grocer providing more products, one may be concerned with the freshness of the produce, but as Lisa Malen explained, The Organic Grocer is an established business based within the Organic Market in Homebush, Sydney. This location ensures that the organic produce is shipped directly from the market and not sent to additional warehouses, further ensuring freshness and quality that are synonymous with the Organic Grocer.

You are what you eat. Forward thinking companies like The Organic Grocer (http://www.theorganicgrocer.com.au) increase your options for obtaining high quality organic produce, bringing better diets and healthier outlooks within everyone'ss reach.
