History
New Morning Natural Foods opened May 8, 1976, on lower Main Street in Biddeford. Paul and I always said that we were naive enough (We were 21 and 22, and pregnant for our first child, Jeremiah) to believe that it would be successful. The beginning was certainly a humble one, fueled by our own beliefs in whole organic foods being the best choice for one's health. We had a message and we wanted to share it! What better way than to open a store where like minded people could get the products and education they desired. Those days were not easy ones. Whole grains, beans and herbs were not in high demand! Most people had not heard of brown rice, tofu, miso, seaweeds, and using herbs for healing. Even the concept of eating for health was not an accepted lifestyle. We had no idea it would ever be; we just felt it was our mission to share it.
