Several years ago, Aaron Gottlieb needed 18 hours of sleep a day. A visit to his doctor pinpointed the cause of the chronic fatigue: the Epstein-Barr virus. Following the diagnosis, friends introduced Aaron to organic foods and a vegetarian diet. One year later, he was 80 pounds thinner and feeling incredibly well.

The experience led him to dedicate his life to helping others eat right too and in 1997, Aaron and his wife Erica opened Native Sun Natural Foods Market on San Jose Boulevard.

Native Sun believes a vigorous, happy lifestyle starts with a diet rich in whole, organic foods. Aaron and his staff are dedicated to providing the highest quality organic and natural products on the market including fresh organic produce, organic grass-fed beef, free-range poultry, wild catch seafood, dairy and non-dairy products, frozen, packaged and snack foods, health and beauty products, vitamins and supplements, baby products, pet food and supplies, and environmentally-friendly household items.
