LAKEWOOD, Colo., April 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- In conjunction with Earth Month celebrations and educational efforts, Natural Grocers®, is promoting the short film "Regenerative Renegades" in stores and online, within the new "Meet Your Farmer" film series.

REGENERATIVE RENEGADES

"Regenerative Renegades" digs into the research and the collective consciousness behind a unique group of ranchers that make up the resilient, regenerative, renegade way at Thousand Hills, a trusted beef partner of Natural Grocers. The company will be promoting the film online and in stores with printed and digital educational collateral through the middle of May.

Raquel Isely, Vice President of Marketing for Natural Grocers states, "As the nation's largest family-operated natural and organic retailer, celebrating Earth Day is really celebrating everything our company stands for. We believe we can make the future bright by focusing on healing the planet, supporting the health of humans and the welfare of animals. Earth month is a chance to amplify this hopeful message. Our "Meet Your Farmer" film series acknowledges how the planet nourishes us and how we in turn, need to nourish it back. It also helps educate our customers about the importance of their food choices. We're kicking the series off by promoting one of our most popular films, "Regenerative Renegades." This film fits right in with Natural Grocers' Earth Day celebration, as we highlight environmentally conscious products and sustainable practices all month long."

THE "MEET YOUR FARMER" SERIES

Natural Grocers' "Meet Your Farmer" film series gives a voice to farmers and ranchers who are changing the way food is produced today, to ensure a livable, healthy tomorrow. Viewers will meet organic growers, grassroots farmers and regenerative ranchers with an unwavering dedication to the land, their animals, their communities, and the planet. Each film asks consumers to pause, to question the status quo of food production, all while evoking an uplifting, positive message of hope and transformation.

Customers and followers on social media can expect more films to be added to the series throughout 2023 and beyond.
