Rootstock is an organic grocery in Bollington, near Macclesfield, run by co-owners Sophie Hocking and Megan Malone.
It began in the first lockdown of 2020 as zero waste kits packed in a shed on Adlington Road, opened its shop on Palmerston Street in February 2022, and added a second shop with a deli on Knutsford Road in Wilmslow in February 2025. The Bollington shop is a retail space downstairs with a cafe and events room upstairs, home to seasonal supper clubs, fermentation workshops and pickle clubs.
Everything on the shelves is organic. Weekly veg boxes are published on Tuesday night and delivered free across Cheshire East every Tuesday, with Macclesfield grown beetroot, butterhead lettuce and rainbow chard alongside organic carrots, potatoes, squash and fruit. The shop also carries local organic milk, butter, cream and cheddar, organic eggs, sourdough from a Macclesfield micro bakery, unpasteurised Cheshire honey, raw organic kimchi and sauerkraut, grass fed beef tallow and a pantry of organic staples.

I have been wanting to visit Rootstock for awhile after hearing such good things. I called in on my way to work this morning and will definitely be visiting again. Fantastic selection of products, well sourced and beautifully merchandised. I had a coffee to take away and it was delicious.
