Dear Shoppers,

We want you to know that we have heard your concerns about product unavailability and price changes. Inflation has affected every department in our store. Here at Deep Roots Market, we value people over profits and we only raise prices when we absolutely must.

We want our customers to know that the price increases on some of our items are not stemming from choice but rather a necessity. Our products contain ingredients, packaging, and delivery that have all been affected by the labor and supply shortages and disruptions. Thus, the prices reflected result from the increase of ingredients, the scarcity of packaging, and the labor shortage of delivery drivers and warehouse employees.

We have kept our margins the same, reflecting our belief in paying all of our farmers and local producers a fair wage. We are continuing to find products that are accessible for everyone and that meet everyone's needs. We appreciate your support immensely during this time of continued inflation and economic disruption.

Thank you from all of us for your continued support, patience, and kindness!

In Cooperation,

Your Co-op Leadership Team
