Cadia food product graphic on a green background.There’s a reason you won’t find international brands at your local co-op. Most rely on questionable sourcing, low-quality ingredients, and siphon dollars out of local economies. We only stock brands that align with our mission and Ends Policy, and few brands check that box like Cadia. Cadia manufactures high-quality products at competitive prices, making it convenient and cost-effective to support your local co-op.  

Cadia Quality Means One-Stop Shopping 

Cadia’s expansive selection of consumer packaged goods makes it easier for food co-ops to be your dedicated one-stop shop. From beverages to sweeteners and dry goods to pastas, Cadia’s organic food selection is focused on pantry staples and household favorites.  

Cadia offers both organic and conventional products, though most of its current catalog is focused on USDA organic-certified options. They also categorize nearly every product by dietary need or preference, including: 

  • Cruelty-free 
  • Fair Trade  
  • Gluten-free 
  • Non-GMO  
  • And more 

All Your Household Needs 

In addition to competitively priced foods, Cadia also offers diverse household goods, including toilet paper and cleaning supplies. Many Cadia Everyday products utilize biodegradable components, are non-toxic, or are free and clear.  

Who Owns Cadia? 

Cadia Foods’ parent company is KeHe Distributors, a food distribution company that primarily serves co-ops and independent grocers. Cadia is still based in Boulder, Colorado, where it operates as a satellite office separate from KeHe’s headquarters in Naperville, Illinois.  

Is Cadia a Good Brand? 

Cadia is widely considered a reputable, high-quality manufacturer of organic foods and sustainable household products. Cadia is a private-label brand, which allows it to operate with lower operating expenses. This allows Cadia to achieve lower price points compared to some other co-op-focused brands.  

Fortunately, Cadia doesn’t cut corners on quality or sustainability. Like KeHe’s other brands, Cadia products are ethically sourced from independent farms with sustainable practices, all of which must be thoroughly documented. No products may contain any of the 160 banned ingredients as outlined by KeHe.
