The doors will welcome you.

This coming January 19 - 22nd cold snap in Battle Creek and Calhoun County will be significant; Please don't let anyone stay out in the cold. The Haven has ample shelter space available, and is making sure even if all our beds are full, we are handling (and welcoming!) the overflow. Men's and Women's warming centers at the Haven's shelters will be open 24/7 when the temperature gets below 20 degrees, and we'll make sure everyone in-shelter is fed. Please share this information so that people do not have to endure these dangerous conditions.

Welcome Miranda.

💥OKAY we've made you wait long enough...😎‼️

We have hired our first General Manager of the co-op!!

Meet, Miranda Oswald. Miranda is coming to us from 15 years of corporate management experience. We asked Miranda a little about herself and this is what she had to say :)

“Hello! I am Miranda. I love thrifting and upcycling— huge passion of mine— and I was into “underconsumption” before it was cool. Late 90s/early 2000s music, The Office, plogging (google it), and dogs bring me joy. I live with my boyfriend Bill and our rescue pittie Rosie. I spend time riding a tandem bicycle with Bill, trying new restaurants and foods with friends, and taking walks with Rosie at the Arboretum. I have been playing Kickball for Jesus (Xmas Eve midnight kickball) at Fell Park with a group of friends for the last 10 years.
I am super excited to be a part of Uproot and make Battle Creek, my home and community, even more awesome!”

Welcome Miranda, we are so excited to have you on board !
We are also excited to be opening our doors to all of you this spring!
Please help us in welcoming Miranda to the amazing community that is Uproot Market & Eatery 🫶
Stay tuned for more announcements this month !!
