Welcome to Roo Stores!

We started this service for people like us - people who care about the foods that they eat and the animals that they raise. Roo Stores is an online marketplace where you can find local livestock, fresh produce, handmade goods and much more. In 2021, we moved to our first home in rural West Virginia. We quickly decided we wanted to live a different life than we had before -to learn how to grow more of our own foods without all the chemicals and to utilize the land. In this process, we quickly realized how difficult it can be to navigate your local community and what they have to offer. We were looking to add a rooster to our flock of hens, but after surfing multiple websites and checking local social media pages, we became frustrated with how time consuming and questionable this process seemed. In the end, we didn't even find our rooster. That got us thinking - if we have this problem then certainly other people must feel the same way. This is why we created Roo Stores. With Roo Stores, we hope to create an online marketplace that will help you easily source wholesome, quality food and animals. We hope to strengthen local community bonds and extend their reach to new markets that were unavailable to them before. As the Roo Stores community grows, it is our intention to allow people to have better access to humanely raised animals and lessen the demand for factory farming. We hope to increase the local food supply and help with the issue of increased food costs that families are facing in today's world. Thank you for visiting Roo Stores and listening to our story. If you have any feedback or questions, please feel free to reach out and connect with us. Christopher & Stephanie Nowak
