LETTER From t he Iselys Once upon a time, before Keto and Paleo and Non-GMO, before Earth Day and USDA Certified Organic, Margaret and Philip Isely were knocking on doors and lending out books on nutrition. They were passionate people, people whose values were rooted in something they actively believed in, something they lived. And that’s why, way back in 1955, they started the business that became Natural Grocers™.

EARTH WATCH 20

Margaret and Philip’s core values are the reason for our Five Founding Principles —our guiding force from the beginning. As we invite you to celebrate our 66th anniversary this year, we want to take a moment to celebrate these principles and the everyday details they’ve shaped along the way. Nutrition is the foundation for wellbeing, and Education about it is one of the most important gifts we can give—this is what Margaret taught us, and how she lived. From our Nutritional Health Coaches to the articles in our monthly Health Hotline Magazine, her legacy continues. Sharing the empowerment of Nutrition Education is the heartbeat of our company. Quality at Natural Grocers is rooted in nutrition education and the inseparable connection between the health of humans and this planet, from the soil to the food on our plates. These values, rather than passing trends, are the reason for our stringent standards, from 100% organic produce to 100% pasture-based dairy, free-range eggs, non-GMObulk, and so much more. Always A ordable Prices is a principle grounded in something deeper than keeping up with the competition. We believe that everyone deserves access to the highest quality products to support their wellbeing. It’s this link between quality and a ordability that sets us apart from the crowd. Community , you’re our reason for being. From our many platforms o ering free Nutrition education to our donation program, supporting the wellbeing of our communities defines our mission. “Ours is to share” was a favorite motto of Margaret’s, and we’re grateful to you for sharing your insights, your locally made goods, and your neighborhoods with us. Good4u Crew , you’ve always been part of the family—this was Margaret’s way. Her spirit lives on in our commitment to you, and she inspired some extra-special Natural Grocers benefits like Vitamin Bucks and Birthday Pay. As she would say, thank you for sharing your unique talents with us because, without you, our Founding Principles are just good concepts. It’s your dedication that gives them impact. This year would have been Margaret’s 100th birthday, and we celebrate her life and our anniversary with deep gratitude for the legacy of values she and Philip passed on to us. It’s the reason the “once upon a time” of Natural Grocers still has a story to tell. 1 2 3 4 5

ORGANIC HEADQUARTERS ® FOR THE LOVE OF ORGANICS:

By Charity Isely

Biodiversity starts in the distant past and it points toward the future. —Frans Lanting

The seeds may have come with the family from Germany when they immigrated, or they might have come from a German-speaking seed merchant, but it’s Aunt Ruby who planted them year after year in her Tennessee garden—that’s the part everyone knows for sure. So these spicy-sweet, verdant-hued tomatoes are called Aunt Ruby’s German Green. They join other heirloom varieties with names tied to their origin stories, like Cherokee Purple and Brandywine, the fruit of seeds preserved in families and communities for 50 years or more. And with each replanting, they protect a critical element of our food supply: genetic biodiversity.

BIODIVERSITY LOST According to some reports, more than 90 percent of seed varieties have vanished in the last 80 years; for tomatoes, the reported number has dwindled from 408 to 79. And the disappearance of seeds underscores a silent threat to food security—the loss of genetic biodiversity on our farms and on our plates. It’s the same scenario that led to the Irish potato famine and the more recent near extinction of bananas. HEIRLOOM SEEDS PRESERVE GENETIC DIVERSITY Heirloom tomatoes, like other heirloom foods, safeguard genetic biodiversity in critical ways. They're open-pollinated, which means the seeds of their fruit can be replanted and they will reproduce the same flavorful harvest year after year, with the help of nature’s pollinators, including bees, wildlife, and wind. Not only does this perpetuate superior flavor, but it also strengthens the gene pool, as each new generation of plants possesses new genetic profiles, and over time can develop greater resilience to threats like climate change and disease. Without natural reproduction and the consequent evolution of the gene pool, the species may weaken, losing adaptability, and with the commercial dependence on hybrids, the genetic diversity of food is also silently shrinking. ORGANIC FARMING NURTURES BIODIVERSITY Biodiversity is multi-layered, and protecting it depends not only on the genetic variation of plants but also on the microbial diversity of soil and the species richness of ecosystems. Organic farming techniques replace synthetic chemicals with practices that nurture biodiversity, including composting, crop rotation, and cover cropping. Consider the di erence this makes in comparisons of biodiversity from organic to conventional farms:

“Whether we consciously realize it or not…the biodiversity with which we have the most intimate historical, cultural and biological connections is that associated with food plants.” —Cary Fowler May we eat for biodiversity, filling our plates with foods that not only preserve our stories for future generations, but also feeds them. pairing tomatoes with fat helps convert the naturally occurring form of lycopene to its more bioavailable version. In more appetizing words, caprese salad with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil or tomatoes à la Provençale are recipes for culinary traditions rooted in health. Tomatoes are an excellent source of lycopene, one of the most potent antioxidants among its class of phytonutrients, the carotenoids. Here’s the fun part: Studies show that

C L A S S I C Stu ed Tomatoes SERVES: 4 | PREP TIME: 15 | COOK TIME: 15-20 MINUTES | TOTAL TIME: 35 MINUTES Stu ed tomatoes, aka, tomatoes à la Provençale, is a wonderfully delicious dish that originates in Southern France. Made with vine-ripened tomatoes stu ed with a garlicky herb-breadcrumb mixture and roasted to perfection, this dish is scrumptiously satisfying, and the perfect side dish to accompany almost any main course.

Ingredients •

Instructions 1. Preheat oven to 400° F. 2. Wash and remove the core of each tomato and slice the tomatoes in half crosswise. Scoop the seeds out with a spoon or melon baller and sprinkle the tomato halves with salt and pepper. 3. Combine the breadcrumbs, garlic, parsley, shallot (or onion), thyme, Parmesan cheese and any remaining salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Stir to combine. Drizzle the olive oil over mixture and toss to combine. 4. Place the tomatoes in a baking dish and spoon the breadcrumb mixture to fill each tomato. Pack them firmly and bake for 15-20minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden and the tomatoes have softened, but are still holding their shape. Let rest for five minutes before serving.

STOP MENTAL DECLINE IN ITS TRACKS! Keep your brain forever young with these research-backed supplements By Lindsay Wilson

T here are a lot of perks to growing older (wisdom! confidence! perspective!), however, the little brain blips you may start to experience aren’t so fun, and maybe even a little worrisome. But some forgetfulness, slower recall, and decline in focus and attention is perfectly normal, and there are plenty of ways to boost your brain power via diet and supplementation with targeted nutrients so those Scientists used to think that neurons—the specific type of brain cells that allow us to think, learn, remember, make decisions, see, smell, taste, feel, and move—increasingly die as we age, but modern research has debunked that theory. According to John Morrison, PhD, professor of neurology at University of California Davis, if you age without a neurodegenerative disease such as dementia, Alzheimer’s, or Parkinson’s, “you don’t lose a significant number of neurons.” In fact, research has found that our neurons decline very little with normal aging, with an estimated loss of only two to four percent in a lifetime. Science has also shown us that our brains have the ability to change and grow throughout our lifetimes, allowing us to continue to learn new skills and form new memories as we age. This is called brain plasticity, and includes the brain’s ability to grow new neurons and synapses, the points at which neurons communicate with each other. little blips stay, well, little. What’s normal?

Natural Grocers™ | 11

Boost your brain power with targeted supplements These supplements have been well- researched when it comes to the aging brain, and they run the gamut, from reducing inflammation and oxidative stress to supporting plasticity, neurogenesis, and minimizing brain shrinkage. For most of them we don’t, or can’t, get optimal amounts of from food alone. DHA & EPA The omega-3 fats from fish oil are essential for a healthy brain. Period. Healthy neurons contain high amounts of DHA, which keeps these cells flexible and fluid, allowing for information to easily flow from one cell to another—and the better information flows, the better our mood, memory, concentration, and learning are. Both EPA and DHA support neurogenesis, reduce oxidative damage and inflammation in the brain, and DHA has been shown to increase brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein that plays a critical role in brain plasticity, increasing the growth of new neurons and synapses. Higher blood levels of EPA and DHA have also been correlated with larger brain and hippocampal volume (the hippocampus is the part of the brain primarily involved in memory). One year- long, placebo-controlled study found that a daily supplement containing 430 mg of DHA and 150 mg of EPA significantly improved short-term and working memory (important for reasoning and decision making) and verbal memory in elderly subjects with mild cognitive impairment. The majority of us don’t eat nearly enough cold-water, fatty fish to obtain optimal amounts of these important fats, making this a top supplement to add to your

B Vitamins This family of vitamins is foundational for healthy brain function—without the B vitamins, mental performance, brain cell communication, and overall brain function crashes. B1 has been known for decades to influence brain function, with a B1 deficiency leading to changes in the brain similar to those found in Alzheimer’s. B1 is required for our brain cells to use glucose for energy, and low levels have been linked to reduced neurogenesis (the creation of new neurons). Low dietary intakes of the B vitamins have been associated with cognitive decline, while an increased intake of B vitamins has been shown to slow cognitive decline, particularly in those with elevated homocysteine, an amino acid in the blood that has been directly linked to the development of cognitive impairment, dementia, and Alzheimer’s, even at moderately elevated levels. One study examining the e ects of a daily supplement containing folic acid (800 mcg), B12 (50mcg), and B6 (20 mg) for two years in older adults with mild cognitive impairment found that the supplement significantly reduced homocysteine levels, slowed the rate of brain shrinkage, and slowed cognitive decline, particularly in those who began the study with elevated homocysteine.

That’s the good news. The bad news is that there are other physical changes in the brain that can lead to mental decline, including shrinking brain mass, slower communication between neurons, and increased inflammation and oxidative stress. These changes are associated with age-related declines in memory, learning, decision making, recalling names and numbers, and the ability to multitask and/ or focus. But even with these physical changes in the brain, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll experience a drastic mental decline (remember, dementia is not a normal part of the aging process; it is a neurodegenerative disease). Outside factors—including nutrition and certain supplements—have a strong influence on how well our brains age, and can combat those physical changes, helping to reduce shrinkage, promote brain plasticity, and reduce inflammation and oxidative damage. Brain Food It should come as no surprise that what we eat has a profound e ect on how well our brains age, and the typical Western diet, full of highly processed grains, refined vegetable oils, and sugar is not brain friendly. In fact, blood sugar that consistently stays at the high end of normal has been associated with increased brain shrinkage and reduced neurogenesis, or the creation of new neurons, which plays a critical role in brain plasticity. What to eat then? Most of the research on diet and cognition has focused on the Mediterranean diet and shows that this diet, full of vegetables, extra virgin olive oil, legumes, whole grains, nuts, spices, fish, and small to moderate amounts of grass-fed meats and dairy products and free-range eggs, can’t be beat when it comes to supporting healthy cognition. These foods provide the antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats that reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, improve communication between neurons, encourage neuronal growth, and generally promote the overall health and function of the brain.

routine. To optimize brain health, aim for 3 grams of fish oil daily.

Lutein This carotenoid antioxidant is mostly known for its role in eye health, but it is also the most dominant carotenoid found in the brain, and there is a strong relationship between how well the brain ages and the amount of lutein it contains. Lutein helps the brain process information faster, with less energy, essentially helping your brain work smarter, not harder. Recent research investigating lutein’s role in the brain in adults over the age of 50 found that high levels of lutein were associated with better scores in several measures of cognitive function, including memory and executive function, which includes reasoning and judgement, planning, focus, and regulating emotions. Lutein is particularly important for protecting fats in the brain, like DHA, from oxidative damage. It also provides anti-inflammatory protection to brain cells, enhances blood flow to the brain, improves communication between neurons (remember, slower communication between neurons is one of the physical changes that happens in the aging brain), and has been shown to significantly increase BDNF. Doses used in studies range from 12 to 20 mg daily.

Curcumin An inflamed brain is a poorly functioning brain, but curcumin has the power to tame that inflammation. Inflammation in the brain reduces BDNF levels, impairs neurogenesis, and can drive brain cell death and brain shrinkage. Curcumin, the main active compound found in the spice turmeric, has been well-researched for its powerful anti-inflammatory e ects, and a growing body of research is showing that it is also neuroprotective. One trial examining the e ect of short- and long-term supplementation with 400 mg of curcumin in adults age 60-85 found that just one hour after supplementation, curcumin significantly improved performance on sustained attention and working memory tasks compared to the placebo. Working memory and general mood (qualified by positive changes in fatigue, calmness, and “contentedness”) were significantly improved following four weeks of supplementation. In addition to being anti-inflammatory, curcumin helps regulate levels of important neurotransmitters— brain communication chemicals—that are involved in learning, memory, mood, and behavior; reduces oxidative damage; increases BDNF; and triggers autophagy, the body’s process of clearing out damaged and aging brain cells and other debris that impairs brain function (think of it as your brain’s way of “cleaning house”). This process is critical for brain health, and any glitches in this system can lead to neurodegeneration.

XXXX The following nutrients have also been researched for their positive e ects on the brain: Lion’s mane mushroom has been found to induce the production of nerve growth factor (NGF), a family of proteins responsible for the maintenance, survival, and regeneration of neurons. Research has shown that it improves mild cognitive impairment in older adults (1,000 mg/three times daily). Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a type of fat that is concentrated in the brain where it maintains the structural integrity of neurons and enhances communication between neurons. Supplementation with PS (300-800 mg/day) has been shown to support cognitive function, including short- and long-term memory, learning and recall, focus and concentration, problem solving, and language skills. And last but not least, the Ayurvedic herb bacopa has been studied for its e ect on cognition and researchers have discovered that compounds in the herb enhance communication between nerves, help regenerate synapses, repair damaged neurons, and support neurogenesis. In one study, supplementation with 300 mg of bacopa daily resulted in significant improvement in memory recall, information retention, and verbal learning (it also improved feelings of wellbeing and reduced depression and anxiety scores). A drastic decline in cognitive function does not have to be a normal part of aging. Reducing inflammation and oxidation in the brain and promoting neurogenesis and brain plasticity are master keys to unlocking brain health throughout our lifetimes, and research is showing that certain nutrients can improve all of these factors.

Corn Production’s Devastating Impact ON NATIVE GRASSLANDS By Charity Isely

Grass. Wind. Sky. It stretches in miles of seemingly unbroken sameness across the U.S., from Texas to North Dakota. The native grasslands of our own Great Plains are the North American equivalent of a rainforest in terms of biodiversity and ecological value, from carbon-rich soil to native plant species to wildlife. And they're vanishing just as quickly. Currently, we're losing these native grasslands at rates similar to the deforestation rates seen in the rainforests of Brazil, Indonesia, andMalaysia during the 80s and 90s, and the environmental impact is just as concerning. A Northern Great Plains is as important as the Amazon or Arctic, and deserves our attention.” –Martha Kau man, Managing Director, Northern Great Plains Right here in America is one of the world’s most threatened natural systems. The

Regenerative farming practices—integrating livestock with crops—o ers a scenario in which the prairie, animals, and farmers can thrive. Integrated livestock production can restore grasslands and reduce the environmental impacts caused by the separate and intensive systems of producing feed grains and animal products. Astudy fromtheUnionofConcernedScientistsmodeled the possible benefits if a farmer converted just one-third of a 1,000-acre conventional corn-soy farm to a properlymanaged grazing system. “Each year they could potentially save $28,000 in fertilizer costs and $1,500 in fuel costs; reduce climate emissions from fertilizer, fuel, and soils by more than 400 tons of CO 2 ; reduce the farm water footprint by 280million gallons; and generate $98,000 in profit.” The study further calculated that scaling such scenarios to 5.7 million acres could result in a combined fertilizer and fuel savings of around $506 million, reductions in emissions of around 8 metric tons of CO 2 , and reductions in the water footprint of roughly half a trillion gallons per year. The food we consume is always a choice of environmental impact, either beneficial or detrimental. Choose 100 percent organic produce, 100 percent pasture-based dairy, 100 percent free-range eggs and poultry, and humanely and sustainably raised meat, not produced in CAFOs, but in well-managed, integrated, pasture-based systems. Let’s pay attention with our food choices and save our prairies! When food, in the minds of eaters, is no lon ger associated with farming and with the land, th en the eaters are suffering a kind of cultural am nesia that is misleading and dangerous.” –Wendell Berry

primary driver is conversion to cropland, and the "Pied Piper" of incentives is corn, grown for livestock feed and biofuel. Similar rates of grassland conversion haven't been seen in the U.S. Corn Belt since the 1920s and 30s, and according to a study from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, these trends "mimic the land change that contributed to the Dust Bowl.” The forces driving the conversion of native grasslands to plant corn and other commodity crops are not rooted in necessity to provide food security to the U.S. or elsewhere. Quite to the contrary, we, the taxpayers, via subsidies, are funding a systemof food production that is neither sustainable nor requisite. Although corn grown for livestock feed is currently second to the demand for ethanol, it still makes up at least a third of total crop production and accounts for more than 95 percent of feed grain. The need for feed grain is drivenbyCAFOs (concentrated animal feedingoperations) involved inpork, poultry, egg, beef, and dairy production and is responsible for 99 percent of the meat and dairy supply in the U.S., according to a 2019 estimate from the Sentience Institute. The status quo for this type of production depends

on government subsidies to keep grain prices low, benefiting meat processing companies more than farmers and eaters, at an estimated cost to taxpayers of almost $35 billion for just ten years (1996-2005). And that doesn’t include the externalized costs of environmental pollution and human health hazards that come fromCAFOoperations.
