Our Story
In 1976, Green earth grocery company opened its doors in edwardsville, il. The store was founded by a group of health enthusiasts who were passionate about natural foods and healthy living. their mission was to serve the community by providing access to natural and organic foods, high quality supplements, and affordable bulk products.
In the early days, Green Earth Grocery was a small store with just a few shelves for organic produce, bulk grains, and natural supplements. However, as interest in natural health and alternative medicine grew, so did the demand for the products offered by the store.
Over the years, Green Earth Grocery expanded its product line to include a wide variety of natural and organic foods, including gluten-free & vegan options.
In the late 90’s, the store underwent a major renovation and expansion, which nearly tripled its size. This allowed for even more products to be added, including a larger selection of fresh produce, natural beauty and skincare products, and supplements.
Green Earth Grocery has always been committed to supporting local farmers and producers, and many of the products sold in the store are sourced from within the region. The store also participates in community events and supports local charities and organizations.
