Today we’d like to introduce you to Jedidiah and Amanda Stone.
Hi Jedidiah, Amanda, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
Grounding Roots was founded by Jedidiah and Amanda Stone. Born from the passion for a healthy family, Jedidiah started formulating recipes that his family and friends would benefit from. They have turned this passion for helping others live a healthier lifestyle by serving nutrient-rich juices, food and healthy local products.

We believe: 1. healing should be available and accessible to anyone who needs it 2. healthy options is only one piece to the puzzle for optimal health, the biggest piece starts with you (our customer) 3. mind, body and spirit are crucial in healing and we try to honor the three all with our products and services We have personal experience with healing from chronic illness (Lyme, Chronic Fatigue (Epstein-Barr) and other co-infections of Lyme and patient advocacy.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
At first, yes. We were one of four well-known juice shops in our area. Soon there were more and more juice shops and the competition became real. We sold the business right before the pandemic and closed in the midst of the chaos of the world. The new owners were really up for a challenge. After six months, we purchased back the business and are giving it ago again.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
Jedidiah is really the man behind the juice. He started creating each juice for his family and friends who had specific needs. No. 4 for his wife and one of her best friends both battling chronic issues. No. 2 for his kids, No. 3 for his own personal workouts, No. 5 for a good friend with food sensitivities and so on. His juice profiles are truly the best in town and that has always made us stand out from the crowd.
Is there a quality that you most attribute to your success?
We always allow customers to sample juices before leaving our store. We are never about “getting it down”. We want our customers to enjoy their juice experience.
