The Power of Partnership 

INFRA is a cooperative of more than 300 independent natural food retailers serving hundreds of communities in 45 states plus DC & Puerto Rico. Through collective buying power, operational support and exchange, and innovative marketing programs, we help member businesses thrive in step with their values and communities, a fast-changing industry, and the planet we share.

Working at the center of the natural foods ecosystem, INFRA acts as a deal-maker, opportunity-finder, and roadblock-clearer for members. INFRA offers you a central point of contact for promoting your brand to a network of independent natural food retailers.

To be considered for participation in INFRA Deals promotional programs, items must meet our product standards and be available through the KeHE Natural warehouses that facilitate our programs. We are also able to work with a limited number of direct Supplement and Body Care brands that meet our criteria.

At INFRA, we are committed to working with industry partners who align in values that translate in the supply chain from sourcing to product attributes at shelf.

The Power of Collaboration 

Nicole Dawes of Nixie Sparkling Water

On INFRA's podcast, The Buyer’s Desk, we discussed women in grocery during Women’s History Month! The INFRA team sat down with Nicole Dawes, founder of both Late July Snacks and Nixie Sparkling Water, to dig into Nixie and her story.

At INFRA, we are continuously working to strengthen our existing partnerships between vendors, distributors, and independent stores and forging valuable new ones. This interview is just one example of how we collaborate with Nixie and our partners.
