About
Our mission is to make your convenient neighborhood grocery store a place where you can find healthy and delicious foods and get helpful tips about cooking.
Our family loves to eat a variety of foods. Some are fun and junky, and some are fresh and wholesome. Often, convenience plays a big part in our decisions. In that way we are similar to many busy families. Busy lifestyles lead to some unhealthy results, such as:
- Eating on the run.
- Becoming addicted to the chemicals and additives in packaged food.
- Being unaware of side effects of eating preservatives, salty foods, sugary foods, and fatty foods that are in many packaged, take-out and fast foods.
- Treating the side effects with prescription and over-the-counter “remedies”, and suffering with food allergies, food intolerance, stomach and intestinal and skin disorders, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes.
We had no choice — we had to start eating differently. So began our journey of find healthier foods and new recipes and to eliminate some of the foods that our bodies could no longer tolerate.
On the journey, we found out that we liked the taste of the new food and recipes. We learned things like – herbs add more flavors than table salt! It was satisfying to find or invent recipes. It was fun to cook together and to share our new discoveries.
Don’t panic. We are not purists or food bullies. We will present foods that will help you add healthy and delicious foods to your usual diet. And, we will still carry your favorite sweets, soda pop and snack foods.
We will offer nutrition information, recipes, and food facts. And we will have tasting events so you can sample and learn. The Guse Green Grocer employees have diverse food backgrounds. And they share our mission.
We invite you to start your journey with us and share your own food stories.
