PIONEERS FOR THE PLANET "We've been pioneering quality standards rooted in our commitment to the health of people, animals and the planet from our beginning," said Raquel Isely, vice president of marketing at Natural Grocers. "We believe it's impossible to separate the health of our families and communities from the planet's health. In our almost 70 years as a company, we know first-hand the important role retailers play in our food system and only choose to offer products that align with our rigorous standards. It's why we sell only 100% organic produce, why we're certified organic handlers, why we're the only large grocery retailer with a 100% pasture-based dairy standard and much, much more.
"We're excited to honor yet another Earth Day – though we know caring about the environmental impact of the products we sell is reflected in our standards and in our DNA—and we don't limit our care to just one day or even one month. We know our customers feel the same way. We invite folks to come celebrate, save, learn and maybe even win, during our special three-day celebration at all Natural Grocers locations."
