I go here for my herbs now and overall I'm impressed. There is a wide selection of herbs to choose from. They ask you to call in your herb orders which I don't care for. It would be ideal if they had an online ordering system. I also don't like the fact that they refuse to sell less than an oz of most of their herbs. It seems like they will for anything over $9 but I feel it should be any over $5. I ordered my Arnica online for this reason. I love the charts that they carry, unfortunately they don't have one for herbs. We went in with two toddlers because it was our first time and we hadn't realize how tight the space would be. We also hadn't considered that while our toddlers are fine when they aren't together, they are particularly rambunctious when they are so while I was riddled with anxiety about the situation, I will give the employees credit because they did not bat an eye. I kept waiting for disdainful looks but they were great. Overall, I love the place. Just really need that online ordering option if they want orders placed...

Horrible experience. They require a $20 minimum purchase in order to use your credit card due to "keeping credit card fees low." I was willing to make a $10 purchase before I even knew this to support the business and was told that I needed to spend $20. The woman then proceeded to add two items that were not even mine to my purchase then telling me my total was $33. I will not be returning back to this business nor will I recommend any friends or family members to visit. This is not how you win customers. It's a shame because I believe in the holistic approach and there were many items there I would be willing to buy. Not now, I will shop online for...

Happened across this store by accident as we went to the diner next door for breakfast (also excellent). What an amazing place - the selection of herbs, locally made soaps and salves and books, crystals, pottery etc. was fantastic. Prices were reasonable. I've already tried a couple of the tea blends I bought (moringa magic and abdo-mends) and they were both the freshest tasting of all herbal blends I've bought. So glad they have an online presence and mail products because its too far for me...
