At Thrive Market, we believe that healthy food is a priority, not a privilege — but we also know that grocery shopping has gotten very expensive.

When something seems obvious to you, you don’t always stop to think: Does everyone else know about this, too? While we’ve shared a bit about our ingredient standards before, we realized our members might not know about all of the people and the countless hours that go into maintaining our quality standards, the highest in ...
Ask three people why they bought organic groceries, and you’re likely to get three different answers. One person might want to shrink their carbon footprint, while another insists that organic baby food offers the best nutrition for little ones. The perceived benefits of organic food are pretty much endless, making it harder to separate what’s ...

For most who have ever sprinkled maca into a blender, the Junín Valley might as well be in outer space. But at the end of a treacherous, winding road 14,000 feet high up in the Andes, there’s this place, where maca survives harsh conditions.
It’s easy to get down about the state of American agriculture, what with all the factory farming, foodborne illness, and corn syrup–fueled diseases ravaging our populace. Amid these very real concerns, though, it’s easy to forget about the victories good food advocates have won along the way: greater transparency in food labeling, more nutritious options, ...
For all of you who have always wished that the fantasy of the Potterverse transcended into reality, who dream of conjuring potions and creating the Elixir of Life, here’s a real-life answer to your quest: Gaia Herbs.
Eat your veggies: three words every person has heard at least a dozen times in their lives. While there’s no doubt that consuming a plate of steamed greens is always a good idea, let’s be honest here—it’s not always the most fun.
You’ve probably heard the most common critique about organic agriculture: “It’s great, but it can’t feed the world.”

The website and magazine has for several years correctly asserted that “natural” is one of the most misleading and meaningless food labels out there—and yet it’s used on product after product after product.
Last December, Venezuela approved a new law regulating GMOs—one of the toughest of its kind in the world. The ruling rejects the import, production, and distribution of seeds that have been genetically engineered—it also prohibits the “research of transgenic seeds.”
We’re not going to sugarcoat it: From a high level, the agriculture system in the U.S. looks pretty depressing. Industrial farms are pumping livestock full of antibiotics. Genetically modified crops cover more than half of the country’s farmland. A third of all American children will eat fast food today.
By now, we’ve all been trained to carefully check nutrition labels and scour ingredient lists. But even so, packaging can sometimes still be confusing. There’s no better example than oh-so-trendy, very versatile coconut oil.

If you’re looking for proof that, increasingly, American consumers are growing tired of questionable, chemical-soaked food, look no further than the results of the 2014 organic survey, just released by the United States Department of Agriculture.
For most of us, a world without chocolate is a pretty bleak scenario. No candy bars. No brownies. No hot cocoa. The humanity!
It’s the stuff of nightmares for every parent: endless mornings spent prepping school lunches. It’s a circus of logistics that casts you as the ringmaster, juggling a full coffee mug while your little ones holler for cereal, then grabbing sandwich fixings as you’re still rubbing sleep from your eyes.
Most days, as we witness the stranglehold agribusinesses and Big Food have on legislation and on campaigns for food justice, it’s easy to despair over the direction our food system is headed.
