Deep Roots History

Deep Roots began as a small vegetarian buying club in a Guilford College dormitory in the 1960’s. By 1976, ownership in the club had grown large enough to support a storefront business, and we incorporated to become Deep Roots Market.

In 1990, we moved to our present location, where we continue to grow and serve the nutrition and wellness needs of Greensboro and surrounding communities.

Or, speak to someone locally! Chatham Marketplace in Pittsboro, NC and Company Shops Market in Burlington are new North Carolina food co-ops.
