It is the perfect place to go for an affordable gift for someone who is a little under the weather or for a natural remedy for life's little aches and pains. They even sell organic fruit and veg at a very reasonable price (a lot of items are cheaper here than in the supermarkets) So for a bit of friendly chat at advice, I can't recommend a better place.

But they must get some customers as they have been open for more than 20 years now! The staff are very friendly and will happily chat with you. They sell a good variety of products from run of the mill vitamins to rarer harder to find supplements and aromatherapy products and homeopathic medicines. Additionally they also have a nice little range of veggie foods too which is an added bonus especially as the food isnt the typical veggie foods you normally expect to find.

A great store to buy Vegan fresh and frozen food plus canned and dried goods. They also sell health food and Vegan beauty products. The owners and staff are lovely and the whole place has a very independent, hippy vibe which makes a refreshing change from Holland & Barrett et al. Now open 7 days a week including Bank Holidays.

They sell a myriad of supplements, from multi vitamins and herbal remedies, to dried fruit and nuts, healthy drinks and bulking protein supplements for gym lovers! Although this shop is a little pricey and you can probably find a lot of their shop cheaper online, it is very conveniently located in the centre of town, and sometimes has some great 2 for 1 offers on all supplements and multivitamins. They are very helpful inside the shop and they know their products inside out. I would fully recommend this shop for all the alternative remedies that they sell and for the expert advice that they offer to all their customers! It's definitely worth popping in just to get some multivitamins and Echinacea to ward off the colds and flu that float around the city!

However, for those of you who do, this is the place to buy them. The reason I might go here, is to buy cereal bars as I much prefer these over full fat chocolate bars which I find too sweet.

There is much more variety of healthy options than you can find in your local supermarket at prices which sometimes be a little pricey but you can't really argue for a shop of this speciality and with staff who are always willing to help you.

Maybe it's because my parents didn't force it down me enough as a child, or not often enough anyway. Whatever it is, I always struggle with eating it and I'm definitely not ever going to be one of those people that order a salad for lunch, either. Thankfully, local greengrocers like Branfresh in Ormskirk village almost make me change my mind and start eating my greens more often. The shop is full of various freshly grown and picked produce that even I must admit does look quite tasty, even if I'm reluctant to actually eat it. As it's a small local business, the service they offer there is personal and friendly, meaning the staff are chatty and happy to help if you can't find the cucumbers or oranges (although the shop is set out well enough for you to probably not need them anyway) and their prices are more than reasonable enough for you to consider choosing them over the local supermarkets.

The prices here are very good. I was very pleased with the garlic chips and the yoghurt raisins that I bought. I would definitely come back here if I were planning to be in the area again.

The shop is small, but they have a lot of healthy food and special things for people with allergies. They even have cookies!! Furthermore, if you are in need of supplements for sports, they give you advice. And they have small packages to try, you don't have to buy a 60 day package, what I found pretty normal in other shops. That they sell dried fruit is also a nice extra, that gives me good memories of holidays in Turkey.
