In 1969, a lot happened in the US. There was the Woodstock Music Festival, massive demonstrations against the Vietnam War, Nixon became president, Abbey Road and Easy Rider were released and we landed on the Moon. Amidst the social upheaval and cultural genesis in the final year of the 1960s, The Earth Natural Foods was born. And ever since 1969, The Earth has been providing organic foods and meals to the community of Norman, OK. Four decades later, Kate and Richard Haas are the fourth proprietors of the Earth and have been operating the health food store and cafe since 2002. Find the Norman location online here.
