the mothership

East bay Natural Grocers Mothership

East Bay Natural Grocers, Inc. is the mothership company for two locally owned, independently operated and certified green food retailers.

We’ve got two natural foods stores with a whole lot going on.

Alameda Natural Grocery Logo

Alameda Natural Grocery is our flagship store. We opened up in Alameda in the early 2000s and are the original, and anchor tenant of the Alameda Marketplace. We grew a great thing there. 

Castro Valley Natural Grocery

Castro Valley Natural Grocery is our brand new second location. We reprised our role as anchor tenants and brought everything awesome about our Alameda location and more to the new Castro Valley Marketplace.

we dig doing the right thing

For decades, independent natural food stores have been at the forefront of providing healthy alternatives for our communities and the planet as a whole.

While many of the original, sometimes alternative, values have gotten more mainstream, how do we as an independent retailer, continue to advance and broaden our missions?

In 2020, our national retailers association, INFRA, commissioned a film from Story Gorge to share our story. This film that takes a look out our leaders, our philosophies, and our evolving values from how we hire, to dealing with food waste, saving the bees, and advancing representation on our shelves, and in our stores.
