Natural Food Exchange
Welcome your inner health food lover at this vegetarian co-op that receives near daily deliveries of fresh produce! Members work three hours each week in exchange for discounts; anyone is welcome to shop this small, nonprofit store. The owner, who is gluten intolerant herself, continuously searches out new products that keep her store’s selection of gluten-free groceries and fresh bakery goods up-to-date; she even added a grab-and-go prepared foods cooler offering quick soups, salads and juices on demand – refusing any products with GMOs in its lineup!
Sacred Vibes Apothecary
At this Brooklyn herbal apothecary, connecting people with ancestral forms of wellness is at the core. Master herbalist Karen Rose upholds her native Guyana through offerings like healing tea blends, seasoning mixes, resins and burnables as well as consulting services.
Trained in both Eastern and Western herbalism, she strives to make her teachings and healing modalities accessible to women, Black, and POC communities. Sacred Botanica (located a few blocks from her apothecary on purpose to ensure synergy between them) serves as a community shop dedicated to herbal education while connecting people to their ancestral traditions through classes and workshops at both locations; to find out more, please visit Sacred Botanica’s website.
