Rooted in Cookstown

We’re Aaron and Jennifer, a husband-and-wife team, and Cookstown has been home to Aaron’s family for four generations.

We opened The Rooted Foodery as a neighbourhood food store where you can pick up fresh meats, ready-made meals, everyday groceries and products from vendors around Cookstown, all in one convenient stop. Sometimes figuring out supper is easier when you can talk it through with someone.
