OGC is a 2026 Natural Products Expo West NEXTY Award finalist
Organically Grown Company's Ladybug Brand® Zero-Plastic Net Bag is a finalist in the packaged produce category!
From nearly 1,000 product submissions, NEXTY is thrilled to introduce the 164 finalists across 37 categories for the 2026 NEXTY Awards. These exceptional products, evaluated on the pillars of innovation, inspiration and integrity, represent the cutting edge of the natural products industry and the bold brands shaping its future.
Selecting the NEXTY Awards finalists is an annual highlight at the New Hope Network office, but don’t be fooled: It is as challenging as it is fun. During preliminary judging, each product is carefully prepared, sampled and reviewed by our editorial and standards teams and the finalists are selected.
For the final round of judging, we bring together a diverse panel of natural products experts from fields including retail, finance, data insights, marketing, journalism, nonprofit and academia. Each judge provides their unique perspective as the finalist products are sampled and discussed. The judges, including our highly esteemed guest judges, choose one winner per category along with a few Editor's Choice Award recipients.
