FAQ *** Covid-19 Edition ***
We have been receiving a lot of phone calls.
You have a lot of questions.
Here are some answers.

Online ordering/curbside pickup?
Avaliable now!

Can I bring my bags?
Yes
Do you accept cash?
Yes, for now.

When is the best time to come shop?
There is no specific answer as things are always changing. We keep a reasonable flow of people in the store at one time. There is a line with 6’ space marked outside to help shoppers keep safe distance while waiting.

Yeah, well your lines are too long!
We limit the amount of people in the store to protect both customers and employees, so we need to line people up outside. Thanks for your understanding.

When do you receive your stock?
As a local independent natural food store we work with multiple distributors and receive deliveries 7 days a week. These days we have stockers working to fill shelves most of the day.

Is your bulk section open?
Yes

Do you have (enter product here) in stock?
We apologize but we cannot answer these requests at this time.
You can email us product requests using the CONTACT US tab at the top of your screen and we will do our best to get back to you.

But I’m (enter your age/ailment here) so you have to check!!!???
We know it is not convenient. We do not like having to say no. Everyone has been affected by this in one way or another and a large portion of our shoppers are seniors and/or otherwise high risk.
In order to clean, stock, and serve in a safe and efficient manner we cannot take employees off the floor to answer these questions or make exceptions.

Thanks for your continued understanding and cooperation.
We are commited to the continued health and safety of our staff and community.
