Our Standards

Every item in the Yellowbird catalog got there because someone decided it was worth carrying. Not a certification. Not an algorithm. A person, looking at an ingredient list, deciding whether it’s good enough for you.

What we look for

What we look for

Who grew it

A person we know, in a place we can name. Most of the catalog comes from Ohio; a meaningful share from within an hour of the warehouse.

What's in it

Short ingredient lists you can read aloud. When a national brand's list drifts, we drop the brand — and we've done it.

How it was raised or grown

Pasture-raised meat, responsibly grown produce, dairies and egg producers we've visited. We name practices specifically instead of leaning on buzzwords.

Whether it's actually good

Quality and flavor, plainly judged. Chase will not put a mediocre carrot on the truck to fill a slot.

Shop without reading every label

Don’t worry, we already did.
