The owners are a family trio who struggled to find [allergy-friendly food products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greater-knead) and restaurants in their area, which motivated them to curate a range of products for others like them. Difficult dietary restrictions and requirements are at the core of this multi-faceted and organic grocer. The shop offers fresh produce with allergy and food restrictions in mind. It also includes a cafe and some seating for customers to relax after procuring the curated food items. The high-quality organic produce is complemented by the store's homemade baked goods and treats that are gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, and free from refined sugars.
