Roots Zero Waste Market

Roots Zero Waste Market is a neighborhood grocery store and organic café focused on plastic-free shopping. Its bulk section covers flours, grains, beans, oils, spices and dry goods, and its household cleaning and personal care products can be refilled. The deli makes fresh sandwiches, salads and entrées with meat, vegetarian and vegan options, and the café serves fresh-roasted coffee and pressed juice.

Shoppers bring their own clean containers, weigh them at the self-service scales, label them with the weight, and pay only for what they fill. Paper, free jars and bags are available for those who forget. Produce is Idaho grown and organic when it is in season, and the market hosts free community meetings and zero-waste workshops. It is at 3308 West Chinden Boulevard in Garden City.
