ALWAYS HUNGRY IS THE VISION OF A FORMER FARM GIRL, DESIGNER, EVENT PRODUCER, CURATOR, AND FOOD-OBSESSED WOMAN. 

I have written & re-written this “About me” page a hundred times & it never felt right. You either already know me & my background, or really, it’s just not about that. At a dinner party, I hate the question, “What do you do?” We are more than that. I love to ask, “What good are you doing?”. when I asked myself that for a long time, I had silly little answers - volunteering, raising the most feminist boys to change the world (ok, that one isn’t minor, but it’s not all I’m here to do), but then one day, it dawned on me….& In walked :

“Always Hungry: A grocery store for good”

I opened Always Hungry with one giant goal: To be a place where people can come & find things that other really amazing people made. These makers are LOCAL, artisans, under-represented, or just so damn special I had to share with you. That’s it. That’s my why. It’s not about my over 20 years in hospitality, being raised by one hella badass mother, or having a family in catering & farming. It’s about supporting the people I love on their journey. Maybe it’s a mom who just started making some of the best bread I have ever tasted & by you buying that bread, she is filled with self-confidence & is a happier mother. She feels like more. It’s a couple who just picked up everything & moved here to make a better life, bringing with them a Traditional Muhammara recipe you must try. It’s a local farmer’s flower. I think you should have it in your home just to make you smile. It’s about supporting the farmers because we must always support the farmers. That’s it. As an artist, this store is now my greatest work. Goods are my medium. This place is Built with my heart & I hope to serve you & the community with love every day.

Thank you for shopping with us.

ALL THE LOVE & BUTTERED TOAST,

KATIE JAYNE
