About Eden

Eden Foods began in Ann Arbor in the late 1960s with friends sourcing natural food. Youth motivated by a study of a worldwide phenomenon centered upon macrobiotics: eating a diet of whole grain and seasonal local plant foods that are not nutrient depleted and without toxic chemical adulteration.

Natural foods were simply not available at the time, so they started the Eden food co-op to bring them in. Their initial $200 orders to Erewhon in Boston and Chico-san in California were well received and caused a local stir. This lead to co-op members traveling rural roads, knocking on doors looking for farmers to grow food using organic methods.

The Eden co-op grew into a natural food store offering whole grains, beans, soyfoods, sea vegetables, miso, cereals, vegetable oils, seed and nut butters, and the like. It expanded adding a cafeteria, bakery, and books, and became known as the Eden Deli. It was one of very few places in the U.S.A. where you could get natural, organic, macrobiotic food.

Folks came from near and far. Health food stores called asking to get the foods we were carrying. An Eden brand began to take shape...

Eden Foods, Inc. v. Sebelius - Sixth Circuit

Brief Summary: The plaintiffs, a secular, for-profit corporation and its Roman Catholic sole shareholder, filed a complaint in federal district court, challenging the legality of the Affordable Care Act's contraceptive mandate and seeking a motion for issuance of a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction. The district court denied the plaintiffs' motion for injunctive relief, noting that the plaintiffs failed to satisfy their RFRA burden of showing that the contraceptive mandate substantially burdened their exercise of religion. The Sixth Circuit affirmed the district court's denial of the corporate plaintiff's motion for injunctive relief and remanded the case with instructions to dismiss the sole shareholder plaintiff's claims for lack of jurisdiction.
