On this episode of Savor the Ozarks, Joy Robertson chats with Diana and Susie, the dynamic duo behind MaMa Jean’s Natural Market, a Springfield favorite for all things fresh, organic, and delicious! 🌿🥑

It all started with Susie's MaMa Jean herself, who opened a tiny health food store in Ava, Missouri, in 1979 with just $200 and a passion for clean eating. Inspired by her mission, Susie and Diana launched MaMa Jean’s in 2002 on Jean’s birthday! 🎉 What began as a small shop has grown into three locations with over 160 employees, all committed to high-quality, natural products and local sourcing.

They share the market’s journey, keeping prices fair, and staying true to MaMa Jean’s original vision. Tune in for a story of family, food, and a whole lot of heart! 💚
