In fact, these sensitivities made it virtually impossible for her to shop at typical grocery stores, as nearly every product ingredient label displayed a vast array of preservatives, additives and chemicals. These \u201cextras\u201d not only impact the nutritional value of the food, but also pose a significant health risk to those with and without health and allergy concerns.<\/p><p>Living in Chestertown, the nearest health food store was an hours drive away, and Trish was determined to find a\u00a0 a viable alternative. In 1989, she organized a natural-foods buying club which led to the opening of Chestertown Natural Foods in June of 1993. Today, Chestertown Natural Foods has a staff of 10 in our 2,300+ square foot facility at 303 Cannon Street, in Chestertown.\u00a0<\/p><p>Every day we open our doors it is to continue the legacy that Trish began so many years ago.<\/p><p>Our mission is to &#8220;meet you where you are&#8221; on your journey to living and eating healthily through the use of organic, all-natural, foods and products.
