The Owners

John Wood and Aly Marks-Wood have lived in Portsmouth for over two decades. Proud parents to two amazing men, Caleb and Aden, both Aly & John are passionate about community, natural and organic foods, and family.

John started out learning about the natural and organic lifestyle from Aly several decades ago. After serving a tour of duty in Desert Storm in 1991, John found himself suffering some symptoms of what came to be known as Gulf War Syndrome. A doctor suggested to John that GWS was actually a form of “environmental illness” and suggested eliminating as many of the environmental toxins from John’s every day life as possible and introducing a regimen of vitamins and minerals to supplement the bodies deficiencies.

Aly, already leading a simpler lifestyle, was such a blessing in putting John on the right path. It would take years to convince John that the steps to prime health required him to change the majority of his daily choices, but now you would be hard pressed to convince him otherwise. He swears by a natural lifestyle to not feeling fatigued all of the time, clear minded, happy and healthy.
