Rooted in Connection. Made to Gather.

At Rooted Goods, we believe food is more than something to eat — it’s something to experience.


It brings people together, tells stories, and celebrates the moments that matter most.

Each board, table, and bite is crafted with care, color, and intention — designed to nourish both the body and the soul.

MISSION:

To create thoughtfully sourced, hand-crafted charcuterie boards and grazing tables that nourish both body and soul, bring people together, and make every gathering feel intentional, abundant, and beautiful.

Where it all began.

Long before I became a formally trained chef, I spent over a decade cooking meals that nourished both body and soul. With a background in holistic nutrition, I learned what it takes to create meals that are as wholesome as they are delicious. I spent years as a home chef, catering for family, friends, and loved ones, experimenting with flavors, textures, and presentation — always driven by the joy of gathering people around the table.

It was this passion that led me to charcuterie and grazing tables, where abundance meets intention and food becomes part of the celebration itself. Only recently did I pursue formal culinary training, refining the skills I had been honing for years, and turning a longtime dream into Rooted Goods.

Every creation is a reflection of that journey: thoughtfully sourced, locally inspired, hand-crafted, and designed to bring people together through food that’s as beautiful as it is nourishing.

  • “Good food roots us — to people, to moments, to joy.”
