our why

About Us

Tare Bulk Foods is a healthy bulk foods store in Dickson, TN, where we rebel against the mediocrity of normal grocery stores.

We’re not just another grocery store—we’re a stand against the bland, impersonal, and wasteful practices that have become the norm. At Tare, we believe you deserve more than the cookie-cutter experience of big-box stores.

That’s why we’ve created a shopping experience that’s rooted in authenticity, community, and a true connection to the food you eat.

Our rebellion against mediocrity goes beyond offering clean, high-quality food in bulk without wasteful packaging.


We are authentically us—real humans from this community, deeply connected to the people and place we serve. We’re intentionally going against the grain of corporate efficiencies and conveniences.

Here, you won’t find self-checkout stations, blindingly bright lights, or overwhelming aisles of nutritionally deprived abundance. Instead, you’ll find a space that feels like home, with friendly faces who are genuinely here to help.

We bring deep product knowledge to the table.


We’re not just here to sell you groceries; we’re here to be your guide. Whether you’re looking for a specific product recommendation, curious about how to use an ingredient, or simply want to know more about the benefits of what you’re buying, we’re right there with you.

Our team is passionate about what we do, and we’re dedicated to helping you get the most out of your shopping experience—whether that means sharing recipe ideas, offering cooking tips, or introducing you to new products that might just become your next favorite thing.

In our area, eating healthy shouldn’t mean driving an hour away to a bigger natural foods supermarket
—that’s nearly two hours of your life, gone.

Nor should it mean ordering online with all that extra packaging and a disconnect from the real human experience of shopping.

At Tare Bulk Foods, we’re committed to offering the best products we can find,
all in one convenient place.

99%+ of our items are organic and/or non-GMO, and we source locally whenever possible. Our shelves are filled with carefully curated bulk foods, from grains and spices to teas and snacks, all selected with your health and nature in mind.

We’ve been told our store offers the most soulful grocery errand in history.
We don’t just provide groceries; we offer an experience. Whether it’s the feel of scooping your own organic grains into a glass jar, or the satisfaction of knowing you’re cutting down on waste, every visit to Tare Bulk Foods is a small rebellion against the ordinary.

And because we believe in reducing waste, we only use paper bags, glass jars, or organic cotton bags—no plastic, no fuss. Plus, you get 5% off when you bring in your own container to refill.

Our store is for the crunchy OG’s, the crunchy-curious, the health-conscious families, and the save-the-Earth types who want to do food differently.


If you’re someone who cares about what goes into your body and how it impacts the world, you’ll feel right at home here.

We source only the highest-quality products from trusted sources
that allow us to maintain our scoop-style shopping experience.

And because we know that navigating the world of herbs, teas, and spices can be daunting, we’ve created a benefits guide to help you understand and use these powerful ingredients. Our weekly newsletter is packed with recipes that you can make using products from our store, and we even feature some of these recipes right on our bins.

At Tare Bulk Foods, we don’t preach diet dogma.


We believe that the cleaner the food, the better, and we welcome everyone—regardless of dietary preference. We’re here to provide the best version of the foods you love, so you can make choices that are right for you and your family.

We invite you to join us in our rebellion to reclaim your health, to make less trash, and to make it as soulful as possible.
