History
Henry’s Farmers Market was an operator of natural-foods stores that suggest a shopping experience similar to the produce stands and neighborhood butchers of the 1950s. Henry’s stores offered produce, vitamins and supplements, and all-natural foods. The beginnings of Henry's Farmers Market were established in 1943, when a family bought a truckload of peaches and sold them on a street corner in San Diego. Henry's first store in Northern California, opened in Elk Grove, California on August 18, 2010.
In December 2010, Henry's announced plans to open its first store in Boise, Idaho in 2011. However, a week after the announcement, plans for the Boise store were stalled.
