HISTORY:
We opened our doors in March of 1980 with the knowledge that that the use of natural and organic products could improve the lives of the people in our community and the health of the planet. That knowledge was compelling. Central Pennsylvania is fortunate to have been the birthplace, or should we say, the re-birth place of organic farming. The important work done by Paul and Betty Keene and the Walnut Acres Farm family served to inform and inspire. Thanks—in part—to their example and efforts, many of us became more connected to the earth that sustains us. Ecologically aware consumers have even driven the large box stores to offer 'good for you' aisles among the 'bad for you' aisles.
With good service, quality products, innovation and a sense of fun and humor, we hope to continue to thrive as a 'David' in a world ever more dominated by large, impersonal 'Goliaths'. Whether it is at the Natural Food & Garden Store or at the many other small businesses that dot our valley, we all appreciate your voting for independent business by visiting our stores.
The Natural Food & Garden Store is a living entity. We are constantly evolving adapting to new knowledge and the community we serve. We offer a sincere thank you to the new families that continue to find us and to those kind folks who have shopped here these thirty-plus years.
