Only Good things
The 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.
Beyond Just Groceries
We don’t see ourselves as just a market. We see ourselves as a movement, too.
We know what you buy, where you shop, what you value, how you live, and how you spend your dollars has a massive impact on our communities. We never forget that we here to be a business you can feel good doing business with.
Our Standards
You want to be confident that you’re getting only the cleanest foods and goods from good companies and producers. We get that.
For over 20 years, we have developed strict standards and guidelines for our goods. It’s as much about what we won’t carry as what we will.
We thought about it all so you can shop with peace of mind.
What we believe
We have a vision for a better world, and how to use our platform to change it. There are guideposts that we believe in to help us get there.
Every decision we make as a business and member of the community is shaped by our core values.
We wrote a manifesto about it.
This is what we stand for
here for you
Our stores are ideally situated to be accessible to large portions of the East Bay.
So when you want to shop a locally owned, independently operated, and certified green natural grocery, we’ve got a location for you.
We’re easy to get to, and totally worth it.
We dig our past, and we dig our brighter futures.
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.
The doc, “I Hire Punks,” was a James Beard media award nominee.
