Bapa's Market

We can’t wait to welcome you in! 💫

Save the date! A wonderful day full of fun, good food and community! 🌼🍅❇️

We’ve been open for 6 weeks (!) and we have a Grand Opening coming up soon so for those of you who may not know me I wanted to take a minute to introduce myself.
My name is Ashley Juhl-Darlington (Williams), and I am the owner of BAPA’s Market, an independent natural food store that provides all your grocery essentials, as well as gifts, flowers, beer and wine located in Meriam Park, Chico, CA. Think of it as your neighborhood Bodega.

I am a Chico local. I grew up with my older sister, Jennifer, and my parents, Roger and Nancy Williams. My father was the longest-standing principal at Chico High, and my mother was a professor at Chico State. I am a proud Chico High graduate. I am proudly married to Matt Juhl-Darlington, we have five wonderful children who keep us on our toes. They range in ages from 21-15; Dylan, Bryce, Dax, Tatum and Finn.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Public Administration with an emphasis in healthcare administration from California State University, Chico. I have worked in the healthcare industry in various positions (being a Midwife was my most favorite pathway) for nearly 30 years. It has always been my dream to be my own boss and open a business that benefits the community. For me, BAPA’s is healthcare reimagined. I am inspired by our community’s abundance of farming, artists, talent, and access to sustainable goods.

BAPA was my maternal grandfather. He was an attorney, an FBI agent, and an astute businessman. He valued people, their personal journey, and how he could help. He was honest, kind, loving, quick-witted, quiet, yet fierce in how he lived his life. The market is named after him because of the keen values he instilled in our family, and his unwavering drive as a family man and a businessman.

I am honored and humbled to be a part of our thriving community.

At BAPA’s Market we believe in celebrating life, family, the beauty and the joy we are so fortunate to experience. We have options for
N/A toasts or a toast with sustainably harvested wines, or even your favorite local cider or beer. 🍻 🥂❤️

At BAPA’s Market we appreciate you, your keen eye and your dedication to supporting local. 💖

At BAPA’s Market we believe food is love. From farm to fork the ingredients should be recognizable, flavorful and make you feel good.

We are the Williams, Juhl-Darlington, Jepson family that represents BAPA’s. We are blessed to have a beautiful blended family who love and appreciate being on this great journey. We are all in.
Matt and I were raised in Chico and Paradise. All of our kids went to or go to Chico High. We believe wholeheartedly in this community and giving back. Our roots are deep. Your support of BAPA’s means everything to us.
