OUR STORY
No matter where you live, I (Kris) and my husband (Tom) believe you can find people who are growing clean sustainable food. Who is raising beef nearby? Eggs? Chicken? Clean vegetables? Have you ever asked yourself these questions. For Tom and I, it was a challenge to be able to find all this healthy food nearby nevertheless all in one place.
So with that passion in our hearts we decided to embark on a journey making clean local food available within arms reach, a place that would bring the local farmers and consumers together and that place is becoming known today as Klean Eatz Market & Bakery.
Prior to opening Klean Eatz Market I (Kris) worked in the medical field as a technician where I took care of people who had chronic health problems, most of whom relayed upon modern medicine to keep them alive. I grew through that experience and recognized there was a better way and that I needed to do something different to help people, which I believe through healthy eating you can maintain a healthy lifestyle.
During this journey we have built some solid relationships with some amazing farms who have chosen to grow specifically for us. Zinc Farms and Wellspring gardens have both set aside some land to grow for Klean Eatz Market both of these farms recognize the importance of sustainable farming, we are truly grateful for their generosity and also allowing our vision to come to life alongside Theirs. We hope as a community and with the support of our family and friends we can strive to become the change that becomes contagious.
Curious about what we’ve been up to?
In the process of opening Klean Eatz market we decided to get out in the community by selling our naturally leavened sourdough bread. We are firm believers in getting to know people through personal interaction, I decided it would be fun to deliver bread on my bicycle. By doing so I was able to share my bread and vision as I also grew in my relationship with my customer. We live in a small town of old fashion values where people truly appreciate getting to know each other and connecting on a deeper level.
