Sprout House Natural Market is a local go-to fixture in the Grosse Pointe community, with a unique menu of freshly made soups, salads, sandwiches and desserts. Soup offerings change regularly and specialty prepared foods are made with the freshest, 100 percent organic ingredients. There are vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options, non-GMO products, dairy and raw cheeses, tofu and organic produce, organic potato chips and even grooming products like all-natural deodorant and baby wipes.

            The family-owned business prepares and packages their food with love entirely from scratch, right down to the homemade spreads on their sandwiches. Their Tofu Veggie features baked tofu with herb veganaise, carrots, celery, onion, clover sprouts, romaine hearts and tomato pesto on multigrain bread.

            At 37 years old, the shop dates back to a time when “health food” was a tiny part of the industry. Blake and Marie Maconochie were already advocates of a healthy lifestyle in 2002 when they bought the store. Blake was looking for a change from his building maintenance work and Marie from her job as a wine consultant.
