Our Story...

Wayne and Julie opened A Clean Plate in 2012. Wayne, who was working at a conventional grocery store at the time, saw an opportunity for a new store that focused on healthy food choices.

A Clean Plate Local and Organic Grocery can be found one block east of Highway 71 in Menahga, Minnesota.

Starting A Clean Plate

We source local produce when it is in season, as well as milk, butter, eggs, meat, maple syrup and honey! We believe in supporting regenerative, grass-fed, free range, organic, and sustainable agriculture.

In 2018 we joined INFRA (Independent Natural Food Retailers Association) a network of independent stores that work together. Based in Minnesota this wonderful group helps us compete with larger stores with competitive pricing, great sales, and the newest product lines!

By building relationships with our growers, the food industry, and our customers, we can help make healthy changes and sell great food! If there is a product you are looking for feel free to contact us!

The Selection is Fantastic!

I live in Menahga and I am SO happy A Clean Plate is here. I'm an organic enthusiast transitioning to Vegan, and having A Clean Plate right here in town has really helped make it so much easier! Everyone is so friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, and the selection is fantastic. I tell everyone I know about this store
