Who is INFRA?
INFRA is a purchasing cooperative owned and governed by independent natural and organic food retailers of all sizes working together to leverage our voice in the industry. The members are united for the purpose of providing operational support, leveraging purchasing power, and engaging in shared marketing activities.
Working together is how we compete and differentiate ourselves in the marketplace, and gives INFRA members a higher chance of success. The level of integrity and commitment of the retailers who are INFRA members helps us shape a future together where we will be able to continue to bring high quality organic food to our individual communities, because we have a shared vision and commitment.
