About Jupiter Foods
OUR MISSION
We are a socially responsible grocer, provisioning the highest quality produce and pantry staples. Our focus is on showcasing “best of class” regional and global craft foods with an emphasis on small producers. We advocate for our community to learn about a better food system.Our Vision
Jupiter Foods is a specialty grocery store selling all the best ingredients. “Good Groceries,” we call them, are exclusively organically grown (no wondering if you’re in the right section. It’s ALL organic) and always grown in the closest proximity to our store. The grocery items available will be highly curated to be simply the best in class of every item. If the tomato paste we carry isn’t already your favorite brand it soon will be. Dairy, cheese, pantry and non-food items will fill our shelves in hopes to become Petaluma’s finest place to fill your pantry. . Our buying practices include a social responsibility factor whereas the producer must pass our company ethics policy. Berries picked by underpaid or exploited workers will not be sold. Companies who donated to the defeat of prop 37 (labeling GMO products) and their subsidiaries will not be found on Jupiter Foods’ shelves.By offering an array of highly curated pantry staples and closely monitored produce options displayed in a “European Styled” model the idea of shopping more frequently will catch on. Gaining repeat customers that visit often and buy only what they need leads to a more sustainable grocery experience. Chefs’ endorsements, educational series of talks and seminars will be critical to this social shift and business success. By using our ingredients from the shelves to assemble meal kits, offering pre-made salads, and grab and go wraps, lend to the ultimate “sampling” experience. Have you ever tasted the best peanut butter on the planet? You will.
