-About The Market-
So many choices at the "Mainstream Markets", isles of stuff that hardly resemble whole foods.
Can a diet consisting primarily of these packaged/processed foods be healthy for you?
The Founders of Zen Garden Market asked themselves this for a long time determining that it was not nessecary to have so many choices and actually so much better to have locally hand made quality gourmet products.
at mainstream markets when you see isles of breakfast cereals, breads, chips, sauces, frozen foods, processed meats and cheeses. Take a look at the ingredients of these items for yourself. If you don't recognize them-look them up. You may begin to find as we did that a major percentage of this stuff is filled with unhealthy ingredients and most all produced via large scale-centralized manufacturing ifrastructure that could never mimick the quality of hand produced fresh prepared local-foods.
The Garden Market offers people a New Way, a New Type of market a GARDEN MARKET. This store is meant to conect you full circle with your Body and Earth and their basic functions.
With this basic understanding that the Body and Earth are the Foundations of our Collective and Personal Health arose our Motto.... A Way of Life.....
Grow Plants, Eat Fresh Foods, Be Healthy!
-Growing Plants-
Plants = Oxygen, Carbon(and air impurity)sequestration, Food, Medicine, Beauty. Proper landscaping around home can greatly reduce your energy bills and increase efficiency in home cooling and heating. (According to Government study heating bills may be reduced as much as 15 percent and summer cooling costs can be cut by as much as 50 percent.) Indoor Plants are one of the best indoor air purifiers that exist.

`Why Local and Organic?`
It is estimated that the average American meal travels about 1500 miles to get from farm to plate. Why is this cause for concern? There are many reasons:
* This long-distance, large-scale transportation of food consumes large quantities of fossil fuels. It is estimated that we currently put almost 10 kcal of fossil fuel energy into our food system for every 1 kcal of energy we get as food.
* Transporting food over long distances also generates great quantities of carbon dioxide emissions. Some forms of transport are more polluting than others. Airfreight generates 50 times more CO2 than sea shipping. But sea shipping is slow, and in our increasing demand for fresh food, food is increasingly being shipped by faster - and more polluting -- means.
* In order to transport food long distances, much of it is picked while still unripe and then gassed to "ripen" it after transport, or it is highly processed in factories using preservatives, irradiation, and other means to keep it stable for transport and sale. Scientists are experimenting with genetic modification to produce longer-lasting, less perishable produce.
