our roots

“For Goodness Sake Natural Foods” was one of Market Station’s very first tenants... this shop has been here for over 35 years! It has served a special role in our community by providing natural medicines & a communal gathering space for health & wellness. The Bennett family ran & operated FGS for decades until I, Ally, proudly took the torch in November 2018 to continue its legacy.

We are grateful for the incredible foundation the Bennett Family built & what “For Goodness Sake Natural Foods” has given us. We wouldn’t have been able to build this new brand without them. We especially want to thank you for your love & support during our toughest times. You are our inspiration for this next chapter.

new growth

This is where I want to give Camden the spotlight for a minute. Last year, the universe brought us together in what became a quick and profoundly strong friendship & now I’m SO proud, excited, & grateful to tell you all that Camden is now a co-owner and partner in this passion project of ours! Her skills, energy, work ethic, and zest are invaluable & essential. Together, we are cleaning up the space, bringing in new products, & making deeper connections with local producers & our community.

It’s time to shake out the rug. It’s time for a shift. Our community is evolving, & it’s time that we evolve with it.

We are your
local market.

We want to help people connect to their home, to their food, & to their neighbors. Our mission is to create a space for all people to connect to their local farmers, producers, artisans, & high quality curated products.
