Community Grocers Matter

Home/Community Grocers Matter

We've been busy the last several years talking to independent retailers.

Perhaps you’ve seen our tools in their aisles or read about us in one of their newsletters? If you’re lucky enough to have a community grocer near you, we encourage you to do your best to protect these important spaces.

And if you don’t?

Know that you’re connected: these community grocers keep community-scale organic farms on the land. And Independent retailers are often the reason your favorite independent brands exist.

We partner with them because we can’t imagine doing this work without them. They are some of the most committed organic advocates, and many of them started their businesses for the same reasons you seek out the label when you’re shopping. These businesses keep purpose in the profit margin, supporting human health, regional food systems, and community resilience. And they provide the perfect homes for our tools.

We’re all in this together: an independence ecosystem that relies on community grocers, independent brands, and organic shoppers like you.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

    • Find and support a community grocer when you travel.
    • Use these spaces to connect with other organic advocates.
    • Encourage your community grocer to stock indie brands on our list.
