We know our customers care about where their food comes from—and so do we. At Greenleaf Grocers, our sourcing practices reflect our commitment to quality, community, and sustainability. Here’s how we ensure the food on our shelves meets our high standards:
We prioritise local and regional suppliers whenever possible. Our produce is sourced directly from farms within a 100-mile radius of each location, and many of our pantry and specialty items come from small-batch or independent producers. We maintain strong relationships with our suppliers to ensure quality and traceability.
Yes, we carry a wide selection of organic and non-GMO products across all departments, especially in our produce, dairy, and packaged goods sections. These items are clearly labeled on the shelves, and staff are trained to help customers find what aligns with their preferences.
While each store has flexibility to work with nearby producers, we follow a centralised set of sourcing standards that ensure all products meet our quality, sustainability, and labeling expectations. We also have regional supply partnerships that allow us to maintain consistency while still supporting local economies.
For certain items that aren't available locally year-round—like bananas or olive oil—we partner with trusted national or international suppliers that share our values around ethical sourcing and quality control. We always prioritise transparency in how and where our food is grown or produced.
Many of our suppliers hold certifications such as Organic, Fair Trade, or Red Tractor, and we regularly review documentation to ensure compliance. For local producers, we conduct site visits when possible and encourage alignment with recognised quality and sustainability standards.
Yes—store managers can build relationships with nearby producers (like local honey or baked goods vendors) within guidelines we provide. This keeps our offerings relevant to each community and supports small businesses directly.
