Organic Food in Frankfurt: Alnatura, denn's, the tegut Handover and a Farm Share

What You Can Buy Where

Frankfurt’s organic offer rests on three pillars: two specialist chains, the supermarkets that stock organic lines, and direct supply from farms. The picture in October 2026 is changing at the third chain, tegut, so this page separates what is stable from what is moving.

Alnatura in Frankfurt

Alnatura’s Frankfurt page for the Nordend market says it offers more than 6,000 organic products, fresh produce, some of it regional. The company’s pages show these markets:

• Eschersheimer Landstraße 60 (Nordend, near Grüneburgweg)
• Bockenheimer Landstraße 13-15 (Bockenheim)
• Leipziger Straße 19 (Bockenheim), also given as Landgrafenstraße 11
• Burgstraße 106 (Bornheim)
• Hedderichstraße 47-49 and Schweizer Straße 80 (Sachsenhausen), both on the Alnatura store finder
• Hanauer Landstraße 110 (Ostend)

Opening hours on those pages are Monday to Saturday only, typically 8:00 to 21:00, with the Ostend market and one Bockenheim market closing earlier on some days. Read the hours on the page of the market you plan to use, since they change.

denn’s BioMarkt in Frankfurt

The biomarkt.de directory lists six denn’s BioMarkt branches in Frankfurt:

The directory also lists a seventh organic market, BioMarkt Picard at Lorscher Straße 16, 60489 Frankfurt, which is not a denn’s branch under that name. Check the market’s own page for hours and range before you travel.

What Happens to the Former basic Markets

For years, basic was a third organic chain in Frankfurt. Its Frankfurt markets were taken over by tegut, and one of them is still labelled BASIC on tegut’s own pages. That is now changing again. The tegut page for Berger Straße 40-42 says the market is handed over to Edeka and that the last sales day is 30 October 2026. The same page lists about 17 other Frankfurt markets nearby, and every one of them carries a matching notice, with last sales days of 30 October (Edeka) or 28 October 2026 (Netto). That includes the former basic market at Eckenheimer Landstraße 127, still labelled BASIC, which goes to Netto.

The dates come from tegut’s central overview page (status 21 October 2026) and the Berger Straße market page, which agree, and they can still change. If tegut is your regular shop, open the page of your own market, and ask the new operator in November what it will stock. The range under tegut is not guaranteed under a different owner.

Farm Share: SoLawi Frankfurt/Main

If you want vegetables from one farm, the SoLawi Frankfurt/Main association is the clearest option we found. Members pay a yearly contribution for the whole farm’s harvest and get a share of vegetables, in a depot, once a week. Key points from the association’s pages:

• The farm is the Birkenhof in Egelsbach, and the association’s info sheet says the vegetables are grown to Bioland guidelines.
• The guideline (Richtwert) for a vegetable share in 2026 is 83 euro a month, 996 euro a year. The actual contribution is set in the annual bidding round, and the 2024 info sheet named 1,620 euro as that year’s harvest contribution, so treat the guideline as a reference and ask the association what applies. The club fee is 30 euro a year.
• Depots for 2026 are in Eschersheim (Tortuga-Garten), Dornbusch, Rödelheim and Gutleut.
• The 2024 info sheet asks for at least 15 hours of work per share and year, and says a share often feeds a household of four, since few members live on SoLawi vegetables only.
• The membership page (status 10/2026) says that from October a mid-year entry for 2026 is only possible as a replacement from the waiting list, and that the registration form for 2027 will be available shortly.

A farm share also means eating what is in season and seeing the supply fall in spring. That is part of the model, not a flaw.

Weekly Markets

The operator HFM lists 24 weekly market locations with more than 190 traders. The list does not mark organic stalls. If you buy at a stall, ask which association or control body the farm belongs to and which products are certified. Our page on holidays and Sunday closing explains why markets move to the day before a public holiday.

Reading the Labels

According to the federal organic portal, prepackaged organic food that meets the EU organic regulation must carry the EU organic logo, and the words Bio and Öko on food are protected terms that may only be used where production followed that regulation. The code number on a label, written DE-ÖKO-XXX for Germany, identifies the approved control body. Every organic business is inspected at least once a year, and unannounced checks also happen.

On top of that sit the association labels such as Bioland, Demeter and Naturland. The same portal says their guidelines go beyond the EU rules in several respects, and that Germany has ten associations or standards. If you prefer stricter animal husbandry or farming standards, look for those marks.

Step by Step

1. Pick the nearest Alnatura or denn’s from the lists above and check its own page for hours.
2. If you use a tegut or former basic market, check its page for a handover notice and the new operator.
3. Compare your usual basket at two chains before you decide where to shop.
4. Look for the EU logo and, if it matters to you, an association mark.
5. For farm vegetables, ask SoLawi Frankfurt/Main about the waiting list and the bidding round.
6. At a market stall, ask about certification instead of assuming.

Compliance Note

This page summarises retailer pages, association pages and federal information as read in October 2026. Store lists, opening hours and ownership of markets change, and the tegut handovers take effect at the end of October 2026.
