theconnectionsnj.com HEALTH & WELLNESS PAGE 56 At Dean’s Natural FoodMarket we’re known for our 100% organic produce selection (which means non-GMO & no pesticides ever!), organic juice bar, our convenient grab-n-go meal variety, a wide as- sortment of nutrition supplements, friendly staff & top-quality customer service. Our staff is very knowledge- able and is always happy to help customers with any questions they may have. We can help customers choose products that best t their needs & can even special-order products we don’t have by request. What sets us apart from our competitors is our dedication to meticulously reading every label, so that only the products that meet our rigorous ingredients checklist make it to our shelves. We have high standards because we want to offer our customers products that nourish their bodies, enrich their lives and help to keep them & their families healthy and ener- gized! We’ve created a place that excites the conscious consumer with the variety of healthy lifestyle products we carry and delights the customer who’s just embarking on their health journey because nd- ing quality products is pretty easy when quality is all we carry! Dean’s sources locally whenev- er possible, to bring our customers the freshest food while simultane- ously supporting local small busi- ness owners in our community. Sourcing locally also allows us to bring our customers seasonal and artisanal products grown & creat- ed by their neighbors! Speaking of community, Dean’s has revamped their already extensive communi- ty program, by dedicating each month of the year to a different cause and reaching out to more local organizations to help fund- raise for their respective causes. Deans recently raised $10,000 for the KYDS organization; held a pet adoption where 7 dogs found their forever homes & we’re currently donating to 4 organizations for First Responders Month. We invite our staff & customers to suggest orga- nizations for us to work with in the future, and anyone interested in working with us can ll out the do- nation request form on the Dean’s Natural Food Market website. We also know that just like us, our customers are interested in learning about ways to improve their lives through the food they consume, the activities they par- take in & the products they use, which is why we’ve hosted cook- ing demos, product demos, yoga classes & more! We look to host events that are in alignment with what our customers are seeking to learn more about. We post about all of our events and new prod- ucts, so be sure to follow us on our social media accounts! Dean’s offers products to ac- commodate all healthy lifestyle choices. We offer options for veg- ans, vegetarians & plant-based di- ets. We also offer grass-fed meat, locally sourced sh, &allergy friend- ly options like gluten- free, dairy- free & more! We stand behind terms like free-range, humanely raised & ethically sourced. If you’re looking to support a local compa- ny, that works hard to support their local community, then you’ve come to the right place. We know our customers by name, we even have some of their orders memorized, but we’re also happy to see new faces of customer’s eager to sam- ple our products! We’re so grateful to our long-time customers and our new customers for supporting our business and upholding the same values Dean’s has for quality, selec- tion & community!
