About Sandra's
Sandra's Story
After working as an employee in many health food stores, Sandra Theriot fulfilled her dream of owning her own business. Sandra’s Cafe & Healthy Marketplace is the product of that dream. Years after Theriot passed, Glenn Murphree walked into Sandra’s to buy some equipment for one of his other stores. He fell in love with the café and within a few short weeks, bought the business and the building. Glenn decided to keep the name and grow the business. Today, Sandra’s is serving the community with healthy plate lunches, nutritional products, organic meats, vitamins, skin care products, organic produce, all natural and organic groceries, and so much more.

What Is Organic?
The USDA National Organic Program (NOP) defines organic as follows: Organic food is produced by farmers who emphasize the use of renewable resources and the conservation of soil and water to enhance environmental quality for future generations. Organic meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products come from animals that are given no antibiotics or growth hormones. Organic food is produced without using most conventional pesticides; fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge; bioengineering; or ionizing radiation. Before a product can be labeled "organic," a Government-approved certifier inspects the farm where the food is grown to make sure the farmer is following all the rules necessary to meet USDA organic standards. Companies that handle or process organic food before it gets to your local supermarket or restaurant must be certified, too. In simple terms, organic products are grown without the use of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, genetically modified organisms, or ionizing radiation.
