Winter Ridge Natural Foods Market

Winter Ridge Natural Foods Market, founded in 1997 by Gregg Prummer in Sandpoint, Idaho, emerged from his need to find gluten-free foods for his son diagnosed with Celiac disease. Prummer’s background in herbs and homeopathy helped shape the store, which has since become the largest natural foods market in the two northernmost counties of Idaho. It offers a diverse selection of organic and local products, including fresh produce, meats, and baked goods. Emphasizing local products is vital for Idaho’s economy as it supports small businesses, keeps money within the community, and provides consumers with fresher, more personalized options. This approach not only strengthens the local economy but also fosters a strong sense of community.
