BriarPatch Co-Op | Auburn, CA

Recognized as one of the Top Real Estate Developments by the Sacramento Business Journal, 2024.

BriarPatch is a neighborly kind of grocery store, serving up high-quality healthy foods and natural products to the people who live, work and play in the watersheds of the Yuba, Bear and American Rivers. Since 1976, they have promoted a resilient and sustainable local economy by supporting businesses, organizations and brands that are committed to a healthy, equitable world.

As the owner’s representative, I worked as a liaison between BriarPatch leadership, the design firm, and the architects, helping to bring the fun BriarPatch community-based vibe to life in the interior of the store. This is BriarPatch’s second store; their original store in Grass Valley, CA is legendary for its no-nonsense food-accessibility and sustinability goals.
