We are a trusted source for a wide selection of natural, clean and high-quality supplements, body care, bulk herbs and wellness items. Our knowledgeable staff takes great pride in sourcing the best products available, focusing on our high standards for ingredients, reputable business partnerships and sustainability.

All our products are cruelty-free; and we have many options that are organic, vegan, gluten-free, locally sourced and made with sustainable packaging. Our commitment to offering our community the best possible products for health, wellness, and beauty, is greatly enriched by offering products from many local small businesses, other cooperatives, and also BIPOC, LGBTQA and women-owned businesses.

Vitamins & Supplements

We offer a healthy variety of natural and organic options for herbs, vitamins, minerals, and supplements. Our brands are reputable, innovative, and sought out for their excellent ingredients and standards. Many companies are B-Corp certified, Organic, Biodynamic, Non-GMO, and sustainable and we constantly strive to seek out new high-quality and trending products.

Our house-branded supplements are well known within the supplement industry: Vitamer Labs is a family-owned business from Irvine California, and has been in business for over 90 years; and Vitality Works, founded by Mitch Coven from Albuquerque New Mexico has been in business over 40 years. Both suppliers are third-party tested and committed to exceeding industry standards. We even have a selection of pet-friendly supplements!

Body Care

Our hand-selected offering of body care items includes environmentally friendly products to nourish skin, hair and spirit. We endeavor to provide beautiful natural products made of clean ingredients, botanicals and essential oils to help support the skin and indulge our senses.

We do not sell products that have been tested on animals, and provide gluten-free, organic, vegan, local, sustainable and hand-made options for humans - and pets! Ask our friendly staff about their favorites so they can show you fun new things to try!

Bulk Herbs & Spices

We are proud to offer a vast assortment of medicinal and culinary herbs and spices. Our bulk section allows you to purchase a little or a lot, and we encourage you to use your own containers. When you visit our Wellness Department you will also find a broad selection of bulk organic and ethically wild-crafted herbs and accessories, housewares, greeting cards, and fair-trade seasonal gifts and mercantile items.

Our knowledgeable, well-trained staff is happy to help you find the products you are looking for. However, Co-op employees are not doctors, so please consult a licensed practitioner with important questions regarding your health.
