Kimberton Whole Foods

We’re sharing the news that in order to support our continued growth, we’ll be adding 17,500 square feet of warehouse space in Uwchlan Township this fall!   “As our business continues to grow across all locations and we move ahead with the construction of our eighth store in Eagleview Town Center, the need for additional warehouse space has become increasingly essential,” Ezra Brett, chief operations officer, Kimberton Whole Foods, said in an emailed response to questions. Brett said the company is quickly outgrowing its current warehouse on Route 322 in Downingtown, a space from which the company has operated since 2013.   The company uses its current warehouse as a distribution center for local vendors that provide its stores with dairy, meat, produce, eggs, honey, baked goods, and more, the company said. It also serves as a distribution center for volume purchasing goods from national brands. Distribution can be one of the biggest challenges for small businesses in the food industry, Brett said, as it adds a significant expense and requires additional labor, which many of these vendors do not have to spare. “For us to meet our mission of bringing local, wholesome foods to our community, we’ve taken on that distribution process to support our local vendors to increase their reach while minimizing their environmental impact and distribution costs,” Brett said. “This new distribution center plays a key role in providing our customers with fresh, high-quality products while supporting our local economy.”   Learn more about our expansion plans here https://lnkd.in/gTnZHGCM    

Recently our perishables team had the opportunity to tour Kimberton Hills Dairy 🐄 and Sweetwater Baking Company 🥖, which are part of the Camphill Village Kimberton Hills community near our flagship store in Kimberton Village. Camphill is a worldwide social initiative that creates communities designed to include people with and without intellectual disabilities, sharing daily life in ways that are intentionally therapeutic and social through biodynamic agriculture, social, cultural, and educational endeavors. Our team got to experience the behind-the-scenes workings of the dairy and the daily operations of the bakery with its wood fired ovens. We’d like to thank Camphill for hosting us and for providing quality products for our customers 🌻

We're thrilled to share that we've been named one of Progressive Grocer's 2025 Outstanding Independent Markets! This year’s honorees are being praised for being tuned into the needs of their communities and the environment in ways other retailers are not. "Beyond their shoppers and employees, these indies help their wider communities in innumerable ways, supporting nonprofit organizations through fundraising campaigns, sponsoring events, partnering with area suppliers, addressing food insecurity..." "Sustainability is also a core value for many of these grocers, which have adopted such practices as eliminating harmful ingredients from products on shelves, striving to eliminate food waste, championing meat-free diets, and advocating for local food systems and responsible farming practices." We're extremely grateful for this honor as it reflects our mission as a company and offer our congratulations to the other 15 fantastic organizations that were named.
