Established in 2004 by Frank Oakes

Food & Thought was established by Frank Oakes. His passion was not only to provide organic food but also to create a place where people could learn about organic farming and sustainability. As a result, Food & Thought is an organic grocery store, cafe, juice bar, and clothing store. More than a store, it’s a lifestyle.

A unique place where friends become family.

Here at Food & Thought we enjoy a close-knit and welcoming community of like-minded people. Our lovely courtyard is filled with opportunities for peaceful nourishment and intelligent conversation, connected with a cafe and grocery store filled to the brim with 100% certified organic food, clothing, and eco-friendly household products.

Simplicity

To first practice what we preach, to be responsible for our own well-being, which in turn increases the well-being of our neighbors and our planet. To shed light on the profound advantages of simplicity, self-sufficiency, and self-reliance.

Sustainability

To promote the need to live in accord with the dictates of nature. To demonstrate by our own practices and products how absurd the notion that chemicals and toxins are necessary to grow our food or that drugs are necessary to maintain health.

Self Reliance

To make available information that is difficult to find or non-existent in today’s corporate driven media, and to share it openly and readily to all who wish to take control of their own health and well-being on the road to self reliance.

Thoughtful Threads

Organic, sustainable fashion

Our mission is to provide you and your family with a sophisticated and comfortable array of the highest quality designer and sustainable products available.

Through doing so, we hope to make your daily life better in some way–whether it’s by wearing your favorite colorful outfit, cuddling up under a cozy blanket, or the reassurance you feel dressing your baby in clothes as pure and sweet as them.
