OUR STORY + TEAM

In 2002 my mother Ellen and I opened the first 1000 square foot store with the help of some very special people who believed in our vision,  just about a mile from our current location.  Within a year of opening we soon realized that the location was just not going to be big enough for our dreams. We moved the business in one day, kept the doors open and the customers followed. Ellen ran the store while I went to Alaska for college.... the seed grew to a beautiful sprout. The market thrived for 11 years, offering the community a natural foods market for all their dietary needs.. year 12 we opened the first organic juice bar in the area and 1 year later opened the Roots Kitchen. Today, we are 21 years old and have grown into the largest independent organic and specialty market and kitchen in the area.  On any given day you will find myself, my brother and lots of very caring people who carry on the vision Ellen had for a vibrate community center teaching people about how to love and respect our food, our bodies, each other and our community!  We are independently women owned strong and growing. Thanks for being part of our journey! -Marieke
