GLASGOW, KY – Local Roots, voted Best Caterer in 2022 and 2023, was the culmination of Afton Woodward’s childhood and career path. After no longer working at the then Glasgow Golf and Country Club as Operations manager, as well as her Management position at Plum Yum, she would still prepare her famous dishes for people she knew. After posting one of those dishes on social media, Woodward quickly realized that she was going to have to start catering as a full-time career, thus creating the successful catering and grab-and-go eatery we know today as Local Roots.

The business has grown each year, most recently with the addition of an outdoor seating area. As Local Roots is a take-out eatery with no dining room, Woodward says the new outdoor space gets used daily at lunch. With continued growth, the name “Local Roots” is reminiscent of where it all started for her and the passion she has for her business.
