OUR BACKSTORY
Sunflower began as a journey for Bob Whitcomb, in Woodstock, back in June of 1978. Peace, Love and Granola were still going strong and Bob felt that a source of healthy living for the community was something special that would unite people for the common good. Years of hands-on experience & a degree in Food Service Management, Bob created the Food Oasis that Sunflower continues to be today!

NON-GMO POLICY
We’re very proud of the fact that in 2013, Sunflower made the commitment to no longer carry grocery items that contain any of the top 5 at-risk GMO ingredients: soy, corn, canola, sugar beets, and alfalfa, unless they are certified organic, verified by the Non-GMO Project (nongmoproject.org), or have documentation that ingredients are from non-GMO sources.

SOLAR POWER
In 2009 , we installed a 32 kw solar array system at our Woodstock location which consists of 153 - 210 watt panels and reduces our carbon footprint. It produces no air pollution, no noise pollution, and does not emit any greenhouse gas emissions or hazardous waste. Visit SolarGeneration.net for more information on our initiative.
