Whole Foods was founded in 1980 on the belief that where food comes from, and how it’s grown, matters. It meant creating quality standards, working with suppliers who achieve them, and sharing that information with our customers. And it radically changed the way people understood and shopped for food. The result has been the highest quality natural and organic products, an unmatched experience in more than 500+ stores, with a passionate team of over 90,000 team members, 5 percent of our total net profits given back to our communities each year, and millions of customers who put their trust in us every day.

A favorite in New York’s Finger Lakes region, the Ithaca Bakery stores feature terrific sandwiches, homemade entrées and salads, artisan breads and bagels, superb pastry, outstanding cheeses, and great fair-trade coffee! Conveniently located around this intriguing college town, our stores offer fine food as well as individual personality, exemplifying the many facets of Ithaca itself. For over 100 years, we've served Ithacan's from every walk of life and dazzled travelers passing through, offering sustenance from the simple to the sublime. Most of all, our customers find an ongoing welcome with a local touch and a cosmopolitan vision.
