When Tim McClure and his partner Mike Case opened Harvest Grocery this summer, they had a common goal: educate the community and help people live a healthier lifestyle. The two are well on their way and are eager for Chattanoogans everywhere to make the switch to an organic and all natural diet.
Jeffery Stone, Michael Case, Mark Regni, Scott Cooper, Tim McClure “We started planning the store in 2012,” McClure said. “We wanted to be the go to place for Chattanooga and Hamilton County to get access to local, organic and natural foods.”
McClure, a well-known local builder in the area for more than 30 years, shared how he had heard on the local news that people currently in their mid 20’s had fallen back in their lifespan to making it to just age 64 or 65.
“The more I researched, the more I learned how a drastic change could be made in their life going longer just by eating healthy and switching to organic and natural foods,” he said.
Stories continued to come out of the woodwork as McClure began forming his plans for the new local store. He shared how a neighbor of his who was diagnosed with a liver problem actually found that his liver began to heal itself just by changing his diet to organic and natural foods.
