At Oliver’s, we’ve always known that to keep a community thriving, you have to support its artisans. We also know that if you want to offer products of the highest possible quality, the best place to look is in your own backyard! Oliver’s Markets strive to offer our customers the finest selection of natural, conventional, and specialty products available. This mission begins with a commitment to support the community through hundreds of local partners including farmers and producers of food, beverage, and wellness products. Oliver’s carries over 6,000 locally produced products, which account for over 25% of sales annually, and we were a founding member of Sonoma County GO LOCAL in 2009 before earning our Green Business Certification from the Sonoma County Green Business Program in 2011.

Since then, we have continued to bring Sonoma County into everything we do. Whether it’s the time-tested relationships fostered with local vendors or our involvement with programs like the Ceres Project, our focus is always on supporting and uplifting the community. You don’t have search hard to find the fruits of our labor either – we’ve actually done it for you! In an annual case study compiled by Dr. Robert Eyler of “Economic Forensics and Analytics”, it is clearly shown that local sourcing at Oliver’s has a measurable positive impact on the local economy: “Oliver’s generates over 68 percent more local economic impacts in business revenues (and about 61 percent more jobs) than the non-local grocer/retailer example. This difference implies that for every $100 spent at Oliver’s, there are $186 of economic impacts created for the Sonoma County economy…. When buying the same goods at a national or regional chain with 18.4 percent local, the same $100 bag of groceries only circulates $116 in Sonoma County.”

Dr. Eyler goes on to state that a “regional purchasing strategy, in essence, connects links in supply chains locally and reduces the amount of income ‘leakage’ that happens when grocers and retailers source the goods they sell from vendors outside the local area.” To put it plainly, by sourcing as much as we can locally, we keep more money circulating in the local community; after all, it’s a lot harder to contribute to the Sonoma County economy when you don’t actually live in Sonoma County. This isn’t just benefit in terms of profit: along with business revenue, this investment in the local economy also creates thousands of jobs and additional tax revenue. When customers choose to shop with Oliver’s, they choose to support not only us, but the entire community!
