Eden Organic Pasta
Organic Food Store in Detroit, MI
Eden was established in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1968 by a group of friends who were trying to source nice food. They were motivated by their studies of a worldwide phenomenon centered upon macrobiotics and its principles of whole grains, plant based protein, and locally grown food produced without toxic chemicals, etc. Because they couldn't find this type of food in the grocery stores, they began the Eden food co-op, placing $200 orders to Erewhon in Boston and Chico-San in California. They started traveling rural roads to find farmers who were interested in organic farming methods.
