No more trips to Anchorage needed to fulfill your nutritional whole food needs. Girdwood’s newest business, the Raw Market will be filled with nutritional foods including fresh produce, bulk refill foods, cold pressed juice, smoothies, local & organic meat and dairy, houseplants, and more.

Michelle Young and her husband James Glover are the owners of the Raw Market. The idea for the Raw Market came to them when they were on a trip to Maui, Hawai’i, enjoying all the fresh fruit, produce, and natural foods at various food markets. They realized how much Alaska is in desperate need of those types of markets.

“We believe grocery shopping should be an enjoyable activity that strengthens the bonds of community. It’s something we feel is often lost in fast-paced, consumerist culture, and we want to be part of the movement working to change that -- to make a difference and connect with our neighbors. We are truly thrilled to share Raw Market with Girdwood,” Michelle said.

The Raw Market is planning a soft opening July 2nd but is hoping for a grand opening later in July.

The Raw Market is located at 148 Holmgren Pl, Girdwood, AK 99587. Their summer hours will be 7 days a week from 11am to 8pm.
