Fresh and Easy has an organic and green attitude.

Fresh and Easy encourages Earth-friendly reusable bags and giving back to the community by donating money to nonprofit organizations in towns where they are opening new stores.
Sprouts
Sprouts is based out of Arizona and specializing in farm fresh produce, although they offer an extensive selection of other organic and natural foods.
