When it comes to organic food and beverage purchases, consumer purchase criteria and expectations for quality shift depending on the category.  
 
Consumers prioritize organic primarily for products that have a clear connection to the farm but also those products that they consume frequently or in large quantities such as beverages and snacks. 
 
Specifically, Hartman research finds that:
 
  • 51% of consumers say they’ve bought organic beverages (not including dairy milk) in the past three months and  
 
  • 43% of consumers say they’ve bought organic snacks
