ROOTSTOCK REPORT // Summer ‘26

We want to apologise - we know we’ve had a lot of hiccups of late and some big delays on stock, especially over in Bollington. And we’ve been closed in Alderley whilst we take a break. We’ve been working on some changes, including changes in opening hours to help us bounce back.

We experience a drop in sales usually within summer months understandably, as folks are on holiday and out of their usual routines. But this one has been tough. I’m sure you’ve all read about how hard it is to keep SME business heads above the water at the moment and we’re of no exception.

We’ve not been able to replenish stock at the rate that we usually do. We understand it’s frustrating, but please may we ask that you treat our staff members with kindness - we’re all doing the best we can, with the resources we have.

Myself and Meg, as well as working on the ground, are constantly working on how we can improve, but there’s just some values (below) that we refuse to compromise on. And so, I guess this is the backlash of our stubbornness.

👉 Food security within the UK is to say the least, worrying. So, we prioritise local and British farming.

👉 We don’t haggle. We pay our suppliers exactly what they ask for, in order to live within this country with the rest of us.

👉 We value the environment, and its ability to keep producing food for us for generations to come. So, we prioritise organic and regenerative produce.

👉 We value our health. So, we prioritise clean food products, bread made slowly by hand by June, and produce grown with care that isn’t laden with toxic chemicals (thanks to Greg and also Organic North)! Heck, even the coffee we make you is the cleanest around (thanks )

Our choices mean that our products undoubtedly are more costly. But, it’s the cost that we’ve always chosen to pay and at times, absorb, because the cost of us not abiding by the above values, we believe, is far greater.

Lastly, thank you. We wouldn’t be here without you & all of our incredible suppliers - we truly believe we’re doin it the hard way for a reason!

All our love,
TEAM ROOTSTOCK

a gentle nudge from your friendly neighbourhood organic grocers: we’re back open, doors wide, shelves full, and the place smelling like real food again.

all your favourites are in:
• organic fruit & veg grown with care, not chemicals
• proper sourdough with no hidden ingredients, no nonsense
• pantry staples that actually nourish
• dairy from independent farms, raised consciously and compassionately

we have a wide range of gut-supportive produce + products; ferments, broths, wholegrains, live cultures, and all the bits that help your insides feel settled and supported.

food that works with you, not against you.

our supply chain stays proudly local + independent: growers we know by name, bakers who knead by hand, farmers who put soil health first.

money spent here backs UK farmers, small producers, and the kind of food system that actually deserves to exist.

rooted in community. rooted in seasonality. rooted in real food.

we’re feelin’ proper proud to be bringing in a brand new supply of veg straight from Macclesfield!

Welcome to our shelves - Greg’s Veg, Macclesfield’s own small‑scale, soil‑loving market garden 🪴

grown with care to organic standards (just without the paperwork), using low‑intervention, no‑spray, all‑natural methods — this is veg that actually tastes of something. Full of life, flavour n’ aaaall the good stuff.

We’re so bloomin’ chuffed to be working with you, Greg — it’s a joy for us to champion growers who put the land first.

On’t shelves this week: Greg’s spicy salad mix + rainbow chard. Grab it while it’s here, and keep your peepers peeled for more coming very soon 👀
