Ursa Nourish: A Community-Driven Vision

As chef-owners of Ursa and Mammoth Coffee Roasting, Tracie and Steve created Ursa Nourish to make eating well at home easier for our community. Mammoth life is busy and options are limited, so they prepare fresh, chef-crafted meals with the same care as their restaurant, ready to heat and enjoy. For the Shatkins, it’s about more than food, it’s about supporting well-being and strengthening the place they call home.  >>> Click here for Ursa Nourish Website
