The Grocery Store With More Organic Options Than Whole Foods

Despite Whole Foods' green and wholesome branding and vibe, it's not the largest seller of organic produce. That title actually goes to the biggest of the big retailers: Costco.
As of 2016, Costco had emerged as the top dog purveyor of organic produce in the U.S., outranking Whole Foods and raking in sales to the tune of $4 billion annually.
Costco's organic sales totaled $6 billion this past year, which accounts for one-tenth of all organic produce sales in the country. This proves Costco's dominance in the category.
