LAKEWOOD, Colo., June 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Natural Grocers®, the nation's largest family-operated natural and organic retailer is proud to promote the fourth short film within its "Meet Your Farmer" film series: "A Family Leggacy" in stores and online.

A FAMILY LEGGACY
"Natural Grocers has been a long-time industry champion for organic-regenerative certified practices," said Raquel Isely, Vice President of Marketing for Natural Grocers. "In 2023 we were proud to be the first national grocery chain to offer Regenerative Certified Organic Pasture-Raised and Organic Free-Range eggs in a private-label brand.

The film 'A Family Leggacy' focuses on one of the farmers and his family who produce our Natural Grocers^® Brand Regeneratively Grown™ Organic Eggs. Witness what it looks like when hens are allowed to roam in an ecologically managed way. 'A Family Leggacy' is the perfect addition to our 'Meet Your Farmer' film series, as it demonstrates our commitment to our high product standards, family farms, animal welfare, and our environment. It also shows how consumer choice can drive positive, lasting change in the world."

The company will be promoting the film online and in stores with printed and digital educational collateral through July.
