Our Story

Founding Story

Rooted in Community was born from a simple yet powerful realization that I had: even with all of the farms and fields that surround us, finding truly healthy, fresh food in our area was a real challenge. There was a disconnect—our neighbors were struggling to access good food, while the very farmers who grew it often lacked a direct way to sell their goods. It became clear that what our community needed was a bridge. I envisioned a place where local farmers and artisans could thrive, and where everyone could affordably access nutritious options. Rooted in Community is that bridge, built on the belief that a healthier community starts with a strong, local food system that benefits us all.

Founder's Story

Coming from a family of entrepreneurs and business owners, many of whom have established businesses right here in Warren County, the importance of creating and providing for the community has always been at my core. I've also always cared deeply about knowing the origins of my food. Growing up, I enjoyed produce from my grandparents' garden and locally sourced meat, thanks to my grandpa being a butcher. I've always believed that these products not only taste better but also make you feel better, knowing they are free of chemicals or additives. With Rooted in Community, my goal is to share these experiences and make them accessible to everyone. I know that finding healthy options can be difficult, especially in our rural area. Through collaboration, I aim to create a healthier, more vibrant community for all through collaboration!
