Committed to Health, Wellness and Education It didn’t take much for me to decide that my next phase in life would involve opening an all-natural, all-organic gourmet grocery store. I have lived in the Lowcountry all my life, and the things that have been – and remain – a priority to me are good health and involvement in the community.

We open Friday, January 20, fully stocked, fully ready, and utterly beside ourselves with excitement (and possibly a little giddiness) about what is to come. We know we’re onto something big, and every time we share our vision for the community with a friend, colleague or potential customer, we see it “click.”
