Organic Farming
If it were easy, everyone would do it. When organic farmers wake up early to work in the field, they know that it brings additional hurdles—growing without pesticides, herbicides and the government subsidies afforded conventional farmers. But they do it anyway because they believe in sustainability and biodiversity. They strive for a lower carbon footprint by growing food close to home and keeping money in their communities. They do it because they believe in helping you eat healthy, delicious food. We share that vision, and that means we insist on paying our farmers a fair rate, whether they supply one store or all seven. We never undercut a grower, because we want them to stay in business, to stay in our communities and be sustainable. When you shop at Nature’s Fare Markets, you share our love of environmentally friendly and socially just food. You help these farmers survive.
