Smith says The Green PolkaDot Box (GPDB) is a membership organization intended to grow to become the largest, most influential “buying collective” in America with the mission of allowing affordable access to “clean” organic foods through an educational grass roots approach.

“The time has finally arrived for consumers who eat healthy to break through the high price barrier that, until now, allowed only the wealthy to enjoy healthful organic and natural foods,” said Rod A. Smith, The Green PolkaDot Box Founder.

The GPDB offers a growing number of over 15,000 products including products from well-known companies like Eden Organics, Annie’s Home Grown, Bragg, Pangea Organics, Nutiva, Justin’s, Happy Baby, Bob’s Red Mill, and Blue Diamond. Sariah Smith, Lead Buyer and Account Manager for the Green PolkaDot Box, is also excited to introduce less well-known, but also wonderful product companies, like Ambrosial Granola, Better Life, La Yapa and many others.

“Thanks to years of research, The Green PolkaDot Box takes great pride in the select vendors we have chosen to work with for our launch offering,” Sariah Smith said. “As we hold vendors to a clean food standard, we hope members will find the Green PolkaDot Box to be a trusted resource for the purchasing of safe, clean and delicious products for their families.”

The Green PolkaDot Box ships products in an actual green box with polka dots, from their 20,000 square foot warehouse in Spanish Fork, UT. Wade Melton, Vice President of Warehousing and Transportation, anticipates the company will soon be processing 500 to 1,000 orders a day.
“We are prepared and excited to see orders start coming in and boxes moving quickly out the door. Speed to market, accuracy, and customer satisfaction are our top priorities.” Wade Melton said.

Ryan Ratliff, Director of Legendary Member Services, says the GPDB Legendary Member Services team is also prepared to help answer questions about the growing number of clean food products and brands offered through the Website.
“The Green PolkaDot Box, along with our 12,000 members, is very excited for this historic opening which allows access to direct to door delivery of organic and natural foods,” Ratliff said. “We appreciate the support and energetic interest of members who helped make this momentous launch possible.”

Rod A. Smith says such strong interest in healthy foods makes sense according to a study by the Organic Trade Association (OTA) which states that 78 percent of U.S. families – more than ever before –are starting to include some organic foods in their diets. The finding is one of many contained in OTA’s November 2011 release of the U.S. Families’ Organic Attitudes and Beliefs Study.

The GPDB online buying club idea originated with Rod A. Smith and his family as a result of their efforts to eat better after being faced with a diet related health issue. Smith says clean foods, defined as certified organic foods of all varieties that are 3rd party-verified to be free of Genetically Modified Organisms, are now available for fresh purchase online with a membership at their innovate Website located at http://www.greenpolkadotbox.com.

“The Green PolkaDot Box mission to deliver members with an online access to organic foods is based on an innovative Website interface that has been created with Members in mind,” said Creative Director Pete Anderson. “We appreciate the technology teams who have worked together to deliver the GPDB products to Americans who want access to affordable clean foods.”
