This Earth Day we are so proud to carry brands that have adopted sustainable or regenerative agriculture practices.
Why are we rooting for Regenerative Agriculture?
Regenerative Agriculture is a conservation and rehabilitation approach to farming systems that focuses on rebuilding nutrient dense topsoil which increases nutrient density in our food, increasing biodiversity, improving water cycles, and increasing resilience to climate change by drawing down atmospheric carbon dioxide by growing plants that move carbon dioxide into the soil.
This holistic approach makes food better for us and better for the planet. Here are just a few of our favorite brands who utilize Regenerative Practices to create their products.

Mollie Stone’s is Prioritizing Sustainability
Our commitment to sustainability doesn’t just stop with the products that you can find on our shelves.
We are proud that all nine of our locations participate in various food waste donation programs. Food will get redistributed, composted, and in some cases even turned into biofuel.
We utilize energy-saving LED lighting systems in all of our remodeled stores, and our locations with living walls provide both beauty and benefit. They use recycled water, help reduce ambient temperature, and increase local biodiversity.
Join us as we make a difference, not only in people’s lives through food, but also for the planet.
