Root Cellar

This is a great little stop for high-quality, fresh produce. Pricing is pretty reasonable, maybe a bit on the expensive side, but you definitely get what you pay for. At the very least it’s worth a look around, and I highly recommend buying at least one of the jars of jam.

The weekly food box subscription is such a neat concept. My husband and I are cooking more often now and with vegetables we would never have chosen at the grocery store.

If you don't like or are allergic to something in the box, they will allow you to substitute items.

I definitely recommend giving it a try!

The only downside is that their pickup hours don't start until noon.

We're enrolled in the weekly food box program; we receive the Plowman's Box. Every week we are surprised at the excellent quality of the products and great it is to have a place like this. The Root Cellar is doing the right things and if you're looking to get produce and other agricultural products that are low impact on the Earth while increasing your health, look no further! I think my favorite part is how every week we get a newsletter with recipes I would never do, but every time I try them out and they work so well! Their recommendations are superb.

We get a Bounty Box through the summer. It is a great way to support local farms and get a variety of fresh produce. The staff is very helpful. Not always a great place if you are in a hurry as the check out can get backed up with just a few customers.

They have a pretty good variety of stuff for being so small. I even found some cool drink-mixing sets I was able to give as a Christmas gift to my siblings. Plenty of interesting things to choose from on top of the basics!

This is a great little grocery store. I love all the local options and I've found things here I can't find in larger stores. Their weekly boxes are great too, I love the items it introduces me to and the recipes they include with the boxes. It's helped me try things I may not have otherwise.

Root Cellar is great! Most of their selection is locally sourced, and the owners, Jake and Chelsea, are incredibly knowledgeable. Whether you have questions about local producers, wine and beer, or how to prepare a new vegetable from one of their weekly CSA boxes (which I also highly recommend), they will almost certainly have the answer.

FRESH and LOCAL! This place only carries Missouri raised meat and local veggies. They also have a small pantry for quick grab organic grocery items. We purchase a box every week. It never disappoints.

We got a fresh Turkey for Thanksgiving...we didn't realize how much difference is in fresh vs frozen...will never buy frozen again, plus it's local...hoping fresh prime rib as x-mas dinner will be available...

Love it how it seems to be a collection of local farmers and everything is delicious.

Great selection of local products from produce to meats to dry goods. If you are someone who cares about buying locally or sustainably this is the only place in Columbia to shop.

The Root Cellar offers great Missouri produced food boxes on a weekly schedule. The food is fresh and delicious.

Hyper local, organic food from all around Columbia area. Great location, clean, easy access and wonderful service. Get yourself some Missouri black walnuts ASAP!

I love Root Cellar's new space. Still centrally located but with parking right at the door.

Good selection of local food! Very nice staff, and a calm environment for a relaxing experience. More of this!

Good, locally grown food and ingredients. Make sure to stop next door at Drink Kraft too.

Fantastic subscription plans for consistantly providing fresh, local farm to table food.

Love my Ploughman's Box every week

Great, kind staff, excellent products

Love this place, great place to get a little of everything you need
