Tracking down affordable nutritious foods for our homeschooling family of seven has been a pursuit of ours for the past twelve years or so.
As newlyweds, my husband Tim and I came to the realization that, if we had a large pantry and a decent sized freezer, we could buy our food for much, much less than grocery store prices, AND it could be organic.

A Natural Food Coop in Middle Tennessee
And so our journey began: We gathered a few penny-pinching friends and put together our first dry goods co-op. It worked. Everyone was appreciative, we were thrilled, and we had met some great people in the process. Lo and behold, our first natural food coop was born.
Now, twelve years later, we are ordering natural and organic fresh fruits, whole grains, and a whole assortment of organic pantry items, literally by semi truck loads at a time, to serve our community in Middle Tennessee with fresh food directly from growers across America.
