About Really Leaf

Small Businesses. Wholesale Prices. Community Roots.

​

Founded by Chicago natives the Anderson Sisters; Namelia, Nalefia, Nausetta and Nadina, Really Leaf was born from a simple belief: small businesses deserve the same advantages as big chains. Growing up, our mother taught us three non-negotiable principles—"Be Real, Serve Others, and Act with Integrity"—and today, those values power everything we do.

​

Be Real
We’re genuine about our mission: no fluff, no hidden fees. Just honest partnerships that help independents buy fresh, affordable produce.

​

Service is Key
This isn’t just about saving money—it’s about strengthening communities. We listen, adapt, and deliver so your business can thrive.

​

Integrity Isn’t Optional
From fair pricing to transparent deals, these principles are our compass. We treat your trust like family, because to us, it is!

​

Together, we’ve worked every angle of the food system—from grocery stores and distribution networks to national nutrition programs and free meal initiatives. We’ve seen how fractured systems leave gaps, and how small acts of connection can bridge them.

​

That’s why Really Leaf exists. By uniting local stores, restaurants, and distributors, we’re:

​

• 🛒 Creating a fairer food network—where small businesses get the same advantages as chains.

• 🍎 Prioritizing access over profit—so fresh food reaches every corner of our communities.

• ❤️ Honoring the work our mother inspired—proving that service isn’t charity, but the foundation of a stronger economy.

​​

This is food reimagined: not as a commodity, but as a covenant between neighbors.
