The Green Grocer

Founded in 2007 by John Wood and Aly Marks-Wood, The Green Grocer is dedicated to providing the Portsmouth community with natural and organic food options. The store's inception was inspired by John Wood's personal health journey following his service in Desert Storm, leading to a commitment to eliminate environmental toxins from his life. The Green Grocer has become a trusted resource for health and wellness, emphasizing non-GMO standards and community support. The store has thrived for nearly two decades, maintaining its original location and adapting to the needs of its customers. A notable moment in its history occurred in 2012 when the store removed Kashi products due to GMO content, which sparked a national conversation about food transparency. The Green Grocer continues to prioritize health and community engagement, offering a variety of products and a welcoming shopping experience.
