I’m excited and honored to be writing this letter as the new General Manager of Healthy Living!  So first, let me take a moment and tell me a little bit about myself. I grew up here at Healthy Living with my mother and my brother, whom I still proudly work alongside today! Need your groceries bagged?  I’ve been doing it since I was six!  In addition to being a master bagger I am also a classically trained chef from the French Culinary Institute. For the past 5 years I have run the Learning Center at Healthy Living, our educational hub for all things food!  My passion for food is never-ending;  I love sharing cooking tips, recipes, and food stories with people.  I’m excited to step into the General Manger role here at Healthy Living – thanks for joining me on the journey!

The harvest season is upon us and exciting things are all over Healthy Living.  Farmers are bringing truckloads of amazing produce and the store is packed with fall deliciousness;  apples, squash, brussels sprouts, root crops and so much more are packing our produce department with color and flavor.  Fall offerings in our coffee and juice bar are also on the in full force, like our famous pumpkin spice latte.  We’re welcoming seasonal cheeses in our eclectic cheese department and enjoying spectacular late-summer flower arrangements from our plants & flowers whiz, Patty.  Oh, and I can’t forget my favorite fall time treat: Cider doughnuts!!

One of the things I’m most proud of here at Healthy Living is the experience we offer our guests. We strive to be more than just a grocery store; we love serving our guests and making you feel at home in our store. Have you attended one of our cooking classes in the Learning Center?  Chef-Instructor Laura Kathleen Wright is cooking up magic for kids and adults almost every day!  Have you stopped by our demo counter to sample one of Gerda’s incredible recipes? She’ll inspire your dinner tonight and for many nights to come. Have you checked our community outreach board?  We send teams of volunteers out into the community every month to spread the love everywhere we can…and we have tons of fun doing it!

Of course my hope is that your shopping experience at Healthy Living is a great one. If you have something to say, positive, negative, or anything in between, I want to hear it! Contact us by clicking here.
