LAKEWOOD, Colo., Oct. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Natural Grocers®, the nation's largest family-operated natural and organic retailer is proud to promote the new short film within its "Meet Your Farmer" film series: "Field to Can" in stores and online.
FIELD TO CAN
"As your neighborhood grocer, we choose to positively impact the way the food in this nation is grown and raised," stated Raquel Isely, Vice President of Marketing at Natural Grocers. "We choose to be responsible for the impact our food makes every step of the way. We believe it is our responsibility to work with farmers, ranchers and food producers that prioritize nutritionally sound, environmentally responsible and ethical practices."
"The short film 'Field to Can' takes us inside the growing and production practices of Natural Grocers® Brand Canned Tomatoes' supply partner. You'll learn about the environmental benefits of their harmonious, soil-centric stance and zero-waste commitment from field to factory. In less than four minutes, you'll be transported to a land of tomato utopia where ecologically thoughtful practices have real potential to reduce our environmental impact, showing that nature and agriculture really can exist in harmony. Your next can of tomatoes can make a difference."
The company will be promoting the film online and in stores with printed and digital educational collateral through November.
