Winter Sun Herbs — Local services in Flagstaff

Phyllis Hogan is the founder of this landmark shop in downtown Flagstaff. It dates back to the 70's and has a long, wonderful history of being the off-beat place to make the Navajo, Havasupai, or Hopi Connection.

Herbs, spices, seeds, musical instruments, and Native American artwork adorn the store. It is the single best source in Flag for all of these. Phyllis' daughters live in New Mexico and continue their mother's healing business by owning and operating The Super Salve Company, purveyors of fine healing salves and herbal remedies. Phyllis was also best friends with dear friend of mine, a French woman, Michelle Glass, who lived in Centerville and called Phyllis "sister". They were close pals and because of their friendship I was introduced to this healing place.

Winter Sun is exactly that, a healing place. I recently stopped by in early Sept.2024 and it is still an oasis for people interested in healing and the spiritual path. Your visit will bring new connections as well should you seek to know the best that Flagstaff has to offer in the way of conscious...

12/7/2021- I was determined to find parking and go into winter sun. I was wanting to buy some “thieves blend” for winter. Upon opening the front door- I was greeted by a man with dark hair who had a mask on! I looked up suddenly because I did not realize that he was yelling at me!

He yelled,” you must have a mask on in order to enter the store!“. I was quite taken back and how I was treated upon entering the shop! And whether the shop owners understand or know that masks do not protect you from the COVID-19 or not,… I will not dispute that issue however the issue was how I was treated upon entering their store.

This was utterly humiliating as I responded quietly and said OK then and just headed back out and shut the door behind me. I am trying to support local, however when I am met with such animosity I would much rather go online and purchase it there. Very sad. I will not recommend the store to anyone...

I had a fantastic experience at Winter Sun! They are taking Covid Precautions very seriously, which I appreciate. They had a maximum of two shoppers in the store at a time, which meant I had to wait outside for a bit. But, the short wait was absolutely worth it! Winter Sun has an extensive variety of herbs and teas! The staff are also more than happy to help, and helped me find exactly what I was looking for! The staff even went above and beyond to recommend specific herbs and teas according to my needs. Everything is fantastically priced, and Winter Sun ais a must visit in...
