lots of attention paid to organic markets like whole foods, but what about the distributers that give whole foods and many others their fresh, organic products? Whole foods just proved after 3rd quarter earnings how volitile even it can be...but UNFI should be a safer bet as it is still profiting from the growing 'organic' market trend, and sells to everyone.

Whole Foods just signed a new 7 year contract. This should give them at least a temporary bump. It's likely that they will supply other grocers that start adding organic and natural products to their product lines. Even so, the added competition will force UNFI to keep their prices in line.

Spinach, sminach! This one hasn't moved much over the course of the year. Along with WFMI, this will continue to fly. With continued interest in organic foods over the next five years, this one should sail. I own it, and I think you should, too!

Organic and natural food: a sector in its infancy. While people have been overly concerned about WAL moving into the organic area and how it would effect WFMI and other organic retailers, UNFI iw where WAL, and other growing, mainstream organic retailers. UNFI stands only to benefit from organic growth. No real competition, UNFI distributes more than 40,000 products and has national distribution centers poised to zoom in the next 5 years. With WFMI alone projecting 12 bil in sales by 2010, who do you think will be providing the products. I think it is UNFI. Margins are not great now, but will improve with growth. I watched it run up this year, and it has fallen back a bit, given the gas concerns. I won't watch it run again without climbing on board.

The natural foods industry is going to explode as people start to figure out that processed food is causing most of our health problems.

The less-sexy partner of Whole Foods. Full growth potential is not priced into the stock currently.

Organic and natural foods are the way to go. I think more and more people will switch to organic over time, and United Natural Foods supplies many of the grocery stores.

This leading provider of organic products sees an expanding market in its future. Even Wal-Mart says it may get into the organic foods business. If that happens, UNFI should be a leading player and supplier in that market, as well as the other markets it currently dominates.
