Norr Organic, a producer of Icelandic-style skyr yogurt, has secured a comprehensive retail distribution agreement for its entire product line within all Natural Grocers stores.
Norr Organic's expansion includes its range of products, which includes both whole milk and non-fat varieties in multiple sizes and flavors — from plain and vanilla to raspberry, and mixed berry with açai. The company emphasizes its use of certified organic, grass-fed milk sourced from small family farms and highlights key product attributes such as high protein content, the inclusion of live BB-12 probiotics, and the absence of added natural flavors or sweeteners.
Mandy, VP of Marketing & Sales at Norr Organic, shared about the expansion: “We’re proud to fill a white space as the only Non-Fat organic skyr option, giving shoppers more variety and better-for-you choices."
