Great Sage is anything but common--featuring a bold menu inspired by exotic flavors from around the world, using organic ingredients to nourish the body, and providing a warm, earthy, yet romantic atmosphere perfect for any occasion. Great Sage seeks to provide the highest quality gourmet foods created from only plant-based sources.
Great Sage opened in June of 2004 as the third business to be added to the exciting new venture called, "Conscious Corner" in Clarksville, MD. Owners Jeff & Holly Kaufman and Jody Cutler began Conscious Corner in June of 2000 with Roots Market, an independent natural and organic market catering to the gourmet and natural foods enthusiast.
In 2003 a second venture, Nest, a socially responsible gift & clothing boutique joined Conscious Corner. The products are thoughtfully selected supporting independent artists, fair trade importing, organic farming and recycling.
The latest edition to Conscious Corner is Bark, a natural and organic pet food and supplies store.
As of summer 2007, Roots Market and Bark are located in Olney as well!
