Welcome to Wild Root Foods! We are very excited you stopped by.

We are Brian and Sharon. We decided to create the Wild Root brand out of a desire to help people include more plants in their diet. About 7 years ago, we were encouraged to watch the Forks Over Knives documentary by one of our close friends who was fighting cancer. We have watched this disease affect far too many that we love to not take it seriously. This documentary is so provocative that we were forced to consider whether what it was saying was true – that we would have better health outcomes if we adopted a whole food, plant-based diet. If you haven’t watched this documentary, view it for yourself and see what you think. What we took away from this film was that we could prevent, treat and possibly even reverse some life-threatening diseases like cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, as well as others, through a plant-based diet.

After making the switch, we gradually figured out how to create tasty plant-based meals at home. However, when we went out to eat, or when we purchased plant-based products in the grocery store, we were often unsatisfied because though the animal products were removed, so was the flavor! We were also disappointed that vegan meat and cheese replacements were filled with saturated fat and not very healthy. We think fruit and vegetables should be celebrated for what they are and can taste delectable when you enliven them with flavors during the cooking process. Encouraging people to eat more plants is going to be easier if plant-based meals have incredible flavor.

Most of Brian’s career has been in the design and marketing field, mainly in the food industry. Sharon has spent the last 15 years homeschooling our kids, and she is currently on her way to becoming a health coach. For many years we have had the desire to start our own business, and we are excited to be starting one that is in line with what we are passionate about… helping others to consume more plants!
