The Heart of Independent Retail
This year, we’re celebrating 20 years of empowering independent natural food retailers. Two decades of championing local ownership, sustainable practices, and community-first values. What began as a shared vision has grown into a powerful movement, uniting stores across the country under a common purpose: to make healthy, sustainable food accessible to all. Together, we’ve built a network rooted in collaboration, resilience, and the belief that independent businesses are the heartbeat of a thriving food system.
