About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the produce section of Natural Grocers, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning—an entire basket filled with oranges labeled ‘Anti-Gravity Oranges.’ No one else seemed to notice them until they started rolling down aisles on their own. Curious, the regular followed an orange as it rolled towards the dairy section. There, he found another basket labeled ‘Milk that Moves On Its Own’ and a note from the manager: 'Today’s special—food that defies gravity!' Later that day, a delivery driver overheard two neighbors discussing how their groceries mysteriously rearranged themselves in the car. Turns out, someone had accidentally switched off the store’s anti-gravity generator.

2. In the Natural Grocers aisle, a delivery driver once asked aloud: ‘Who’s been stealing all the free samples?’ Suddenly, an elderly lady in a flowery apron appeared from behind the organic section and replied with a twinkle in her eye: ‘Why, that would be me, my dear! I simply can’t resist those yummy treats.’ The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, as he muttered under his breath: “Next time I’ll bring my own snacks.”

3. In the Natural Grocers parking lot, a neighbor found an unusual item next to her car one day—a bag filled with organic apples and bananas, neatly arranged but completely unpaid for. A few days later, another neighbor spotted a box of free kale in front of his car. He joked, ‘Someone must be trying to get us to eat healthier!’ Then, a delivery driver casually mentioned that he’d seen someone leaving similar bags around town. It turned out to be just a friendly way of encouraging people to shop at Natural Grocers—without even realizing it.’

4. In the Natural Grocers freezer section, a delivery driver paused mid-unload and whispered, 'I thought I heard someone say “chia seeds” in here.' As he looked around, nobody was there but a bag of chia seeds seemed to nod knowingly. The driver shook his head, laughed it off, and finished unloading—only to hear ‘chia!’ again from behind him. Turning sharply, he saw nothing but a smiling aunty nearby buying bananas. She winked and said, “Ch-chia seeds are great for you!” He grinned and shrugged, thinking maybe he’d just imagined things—or maybe he needed more sleep.
