Chronic disease and health issues can leave you feeling helpless. With all of the conflicting advice about food and health, you need solid advice. You need someone who understands.
Founded by Carrie Vitt in 2008, our goal at Deliciously Organic is to give you sound advice, vibrant recipes that your whole family will love and help you walk down the path toward better health.
Our mission
To help others learn how to nourish their bodies for optimal health. This comes in the form of food, diet, a healthy lifestyle, quality sleep, spending time with loved ones, etc. – it’s the whole package.
Our core values
Trust, Integrity, Hardworking, Compassion
How we work
- We’re hardworking and lead with compassion. Having patience with those we serve is of the utmost importance.
- We’re always open to new ideas and feedback – if you notice something in the business that can be improved, we’d love to see what you can do to make it better!
- While we work hard, we’re also able to laugh, joke around, and not take ourselves too seriously.
Carrie Vitt, FNTP (Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner) began her journey toward organic, unprocessed foods when she discovered that her 24/7 migraines were caused by the pesticides, herbicides, hormones, etc. in the foods she was eating.
Through organic, unprocessed food her family was able to reverse: Hashimoto’s disease, severe asthma, eczema, IBS, and migraines. No drugs. Just good, natural, real food.

- You love exploring new tools and ways to improve productivity, while keeping the bigger picture in mind and supporting our mission
- You feel comfortable talking to clients and customers, as part of delivering a positive and empowering experience to our community
- You pride yourself on your ability to “figure things out”!
