Whole Foods

Founded in 1980 in Austin, Texas, Whole Foods Market is the leading natural and organic food retailer. As America’s first national certified organic grocer, Whole Foods Market was named “America’s Healthiest Grocery Store” by Health magazine.  When Whole Foods Market first opened its doors, we set out on a simple mission: to provide a more natural alternative to the conventional grocery options available at that time.  That mission still rings true today.  We are highly selective about what we sell, dedicated to strict quality standards, and committed to supporting environmentally friendly agricultural and production methods.

We’re proud to sponsor the Sweet Songs Mother’s Day CD Release to benefit the Mothers’ Milk Bank at Austin as we believe passionately in supporting the communities we serve and we support local causes that are important to our shoppers and neighbors.
