Mari Mann Herb & Co.

Mari-Mann Herbs™ health food store and more, nestled in a country setting, is of one of the Midwest’s oldest and largest herb gardens, offering a unique experience for all. The King Family carries on the traditions started by founder Maribeth King. Mari-Mann started in 1976 in Maribeth’s home kitchen where she began preparing and teaching healthy ways to cook with herbs and spices, selling her homemade dips, spices, and sauces. A few years later, she and husband Bob found a magical and serene property on the west side of Decatur, IL to open a unique retail store and began planting an herb garden. Maribeth also began hosting cooking classes to promote local chefs and invite the public to enjoy gourmet meals where they learned to prepare the recipes.

Mari-Mann has grown from our humble beginnings in the family kitchen. We still offer homemade gourmet food products like sauces, dips, seasonings, and teas as well as a large selection of the best quality natural supplements and fragrance products.

Culinary education has expanded at Mari-Mann Herbs with Chef Pehr’s The Gooder Cooking Show. Brian has helped change cooking classes at Mari-Mann from small gatherings in our kitchen attended by the public to large scale outdoor Bar-B-Q’s and has transitioned for a new generation of home cooks by offering cooking videos available online where Chef Pehr demonstrates cooking techniques and his own unique flavors. Along with these videos, Chef Pehr has developed a line of Gooder Spice blends for sale in the Mari-Mann retail store. The Gooder Spices are available to purchase at Mari-Mann Herbs and online at www.shopmarimann.com so anyone can cook Gooder food like Chef Pehr.
