According to its website, Sprouts opened its first store in 2002 in an effort to make fresh, organic foods less expensive or difficult to find.
"We wanted to be different!" the website says. "No more weaving through a maze of narrow aisles without anyone offering to help. No more ingredient lists featuring 40 unpronounceable chemicals. And most of all, no more spending an entire paycheck for food from the honest effort of a farmer — not a factory."
However, some farmers say the chain's use of the label "farmers market" is misleading because all the produce doesn't come directly from local farmers.
