A Fresh Take On Going Green: Great meals start long before they reach your table.

They begin in healthy soil, with farmers and producers who believe that caring for the land leads to better food – and a better future.

That’s why we’ve brought together Stemple Creek Ranch, Bonterra Organic Estates, and Lakeside Organic Gardens, producers who share a commitment to organic and regenerative practices that support soil health, biodiversity, and the long-term vitality of the land. It’s a connection you can taste, in every bite, every sip, and every choice.

For this year’s Earth Day, we are honoring companies who join us in their quest to make a difference in the world’s future as they bring their products to market. From farmers practicing cutting edge techniques to eco-conscious brands reducing their carbon footprints through innovation, we’ve curated a selection of producers who give back, conserve, or build sustainability. When you purchase these outstanding products at local, employee-owned Oliver’s Market, you are supporting sustainable business and a happier, healthier world.

Oliver’s Commitment to Sustainable Business Practices

Oliver’s became Sonoma County’s first certified Green grocery store in 2011, with the Business Office, Cotati store and Montecito store completing the program. The Stony Point store was added in 2014 and then all were recertified in 2016, including the newly opened Windsor store.

As part of the 2021 renewal, a comprehensive Oliver’s Market Sustainability Policy was adopted, which includes goals and guidelines designed to increase the company’s positive impact on the environment and community in the following areas:

1. Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (purchasing that considers all aspects of the below categories)
2. Energy Conservation (use less energy be efficient with energy used)
3. Water Conservation (use less water be efficient with water used)
4. Zero Waste (eliminate, reduce, divert, reuse, repurpose, donate – then recycle/compost)
5. Transportation (improve ways to reduce fleet’s, operations’, employees’ & visitors’ carbon footprint)
6. Toxics Reduction (reduce the number of toxics we generate)
7. Wastewater Pollution Prevention (eliminate wastewater pollution)
8. Employee Education (educate employees on all aspects of this Sustainability Policy)
9. Employee Wellness, Equity, Inclusion (caring for employees by creating environment where everyone is treated fairly and thrives)
10. Community Leadership & Engagement (going above and beyond and engaging community)

Oliver’s Market is fortunate to have a full-time Sustainability Coordinator, Annie Sherman, to oversee these programs and monitor our progress in these critical areas.

Think Globally, Act Locally

In addition to our operational commitments to sustainability, as a locally owned and operated company selling as many locally produced products as possible, we reduce our carbon footprint and improve our supply chain while creating more local jobs and more dollars in our tax base than a national company. We have commissioned several studies on this topic with economist Dr. Robert Eyler, which lay out the many benefits of shopping locally and buying locally made products. Read more HERE.

As you think about Earth Day this year, we hope you will give one of these eco-conscious products a try and consider small ways you can help support our dear Mother Earth. Happy Earth Day!
