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.
The Studio Museum in Harlem is the nexus for artists of African descent locally, nationally, and internationally, and for work that has been inspired and influenced by black culture. It is a site for the dynamic exchange of ideas about art and society.
For over 50 years we have used our original recipe and the same artisanal water bagel method to make our bagels — the same today as our very first day. Our bagels start with the highest quality, all natural ingredients sourced from around the world. Then they are proofed, kettle boiled, bathed in cold water, and baked in our ovens. Although our traditional process is lengthy and labor intensive, each step in our process is crucial to making the finest old world bagels.
