LAKEWOOD, Colo., April 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Natural Grocers®, a longtime leader of the organic movement and the nation's largest family-operated natural and organic retailer, is celebrating Earth Day with special savings, giveaways and educational efforts. Each year the company showcases environmentally conscious products and practices and hosts a special fundraiser throughout the month of April to bring awareness to the importance of a healthy planet. The company's month-long Earth Day celebration culminates with three days of exclusive Earth Day deals, freebies and sweepstakes, April 22-24.

Natural Grocers, pioneers for the planet since 1955, invites customers to its annual Earth Day Celebration, April 22-24.

PIONEERS FOR THE PLANET
"We've been pioneering quality standards rooted in our commitment to the health of people, animals and the planet from our beginning," said Raquel Isely, vice president of marketing at Natural Grocers. "We believe it's impossible to separate the health of our families and communities from the planet's health. In our almost 70 years as a company, we know first-hand the important role retailers play in our food system and only choose to offer products that align with our rigorous standards. It's why we sell only 100% organic produce, why we're certified organic handlers, why we're the only large grocery retailer with a 100% pasture-based dairy standard and much, much more.

"We're excited to honor yet another Earth Day – though we know caring about the environmental impact of the products we sell is reflected in our standards and in our DNA—and we don't limit our care to just one day or even one month. We know our customers feel the same way. We invite folks to come celebrate, save, learn and maybe even win, during our special three-day celebration at all Natural Grocers locations."
