Our store offers a unique shopping experience to both members and non-members. We carry the most diverse selection of whole foods in the region-specializing in organically grown grains, nuts, seeds, herbs, fresh fruits and vegetables. A diet consisting of these natural food staples generally costs less than the standard American diet of processed foods, which can be high in fats, refined flours, sugars or salts.

To accomodate different dietary needs, we carry foods for vegetarian, macrobiotic, wheat and gluten free, low-sodium, high-fiber, raw foods, vegan, etc. Our staff is knowledgeable about the store's products, and can assist you with your dietary choices. Newark Natural Foods also offers a large selection of vitamins, supplements, natural body care products, pet products, and other environmentally responsible household items.

Our prices are usually lower on comparable products from health food stores and supermarkets, and we accept manufacturers' coupons. Since we are not-for-profit, the price you pay reflects the actual costs of bringing the item from its source to you. We buy from local farmers and suppliers whenever possible in order to reduce or eliminate excessive shipping costs and middleman mark-ups, and also to help support our local community. Our aim is to maximize value for all our shoppers, not to maximize profits for a few corporate shareholders.

Everyone is welcome! Although Newark Natural Foods is cooperatively owned, shoppers are not required to become members to shop.

Visit us Sunday mornings during the Spring, Summer and Fall months and enjoy the Newark Co-op Farmers Market, located in the front parking lot of the store. We are very thankful for the dedicated group of local farmers, growers and bakers, who have set up and sold their wares for over five years.

Note: Not all of our products are salt or sugar free; some have unfamiliar ingredients; some are organically grown, others are not. If you are following a special diet, do not assume every store item is on it. When in doubt, ask a staff member.
