I am grateful for Kimberly's assistance today. She really went the distance to find what I wanted, along with displaying a super cheerful and positive attitude. She is amazing and made my life extra easy by taking time to record the sticker information for each baggie of tea after I filled them. Being a senior citizen, I enjoy a little pampering now and then. I am thankful that staff regularly deliver a nurturing vibe and seem happy to help. And I have to rave, yet again, about Alyssa's astounding art talent; seen inside and outside the store. What a gift, the latest being an incredibly adorable and cleverly designed large mailbox out front with a farm theme. Between her, and Erin's creativie touch - one of the owners, the place exudes deep relaxation and being immersed in nature. read more

I don't go here often - since we already have our go-to grocery stops, but when I do stop in here - I always enjoy my experience. I appreciate that this little wondrous health gem has such a diverse selection of groceries to accommodate different dietary needs. Though their produce is pricey - it's always on point. The blueberries I bought here recently were incredible. If you're looking for quality meats, coconut yogurt, low carb snacks, vegan goodies and everything in between - this is your spot. I particularly enjoy how many local products they now stock here. From fresh baked sourdough bread, to handmade desserts, to homemade teas, face sprays and elixirs - Nature's Whole Food Depot is all about showcasing local artists, bakers, and healers. Be sure to also stay tuned their FB page to learn about events that they host in their store. They spotlight everything from foraging to breath work and more. If you want to support local - Nature's Whole Food Depot is your spot. I'd recommend allotting quite a bit of time to fully explore this magical space. Trust. read more

This is a small grocery store but packs a big punch. It's got all the necessities for a long cabin stay plus much more. It also has a smoothie station, the best Açaí bowls, and fresh squeezed orange juice. From grass fed frozen beef to farm fresh eggs, raw milk , organic produce, and a variety of loose tea leaves to toilet paper. They have the best Jazmine loose tea leaves, very aromatic and a surprise find for sure. I did spend a lot of time at the store because they had so many things to look at. The only complaint was the bread. I'm not sure when they bring in the fresh pastries and bread. I bought a loaf of sourdough and it was on the hard 3 day old side. Other than that it was a pretty solid experience. Friendly service and very knowledgeable. Not a crowded place at all. I'd def go back when I'm back in town. read more

One of the few spots in town to find local, organic, healthy foods. They have a great selection of bulk items that you really can't find anywhere else. Their supplements section is huge and they even have an outdoor nursery for plants! Everyone is always very friendly and helpful in the store. Overall, a great spot to stop in. Oh yeah! They also have a juice bar as well. You really cannot go wrong! read more

One of my favorite places to shop. They have a quaint nursery behind the store. With many varieties of plants. Inside there is a nice selection of different looseleaf teas. Take the time to browse their bulk spice selection. Bonus if you are in need if you are in need of vitamins this is the perfect place. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask the staff is very friendly. Before you leave make sure to have a yummy beverage and sit on the patio. read more

See all

A nice little depot for shopping a few groceries, dairy products, meats, souvenirs, vitamins lots of organic alternatives offered here. One of the best smoothie bars I've ever visited. I will definitely visit here again. read more

Such a unique and excellent store! Great selection of items from fresh local meat and groceries to cosmetics, gifts, plants, etc. Way better quality and healthier items than standard stores. Grass fed & finished meat, organic produce, ice cream and dairy that lack the undesirable additives in the equivalent items from the commodity manufacturers. Knowledge and friendly staff answers questions readily and will find out information if they don't have it readily to hand. Truly a gem! read more

Fantastic owners, and employees. This place always gives me life after I visit. They offer great workshops, and the gal who works in the supplements department, is very knowledgeable and happy to help. read more

Back a ways ...Everytime I went to the natures way.,owner and staff let me know I was welcome. For someone 2800 miles from home,being treated like home folk meant the world to me. It's been a long time since asked Is there anything you need? Natures Way has everything you néed from fresh cabbage to 50 pounds of oats What I considered is their bulk seed are live and sproutable..Think bout that come gardening time. Thank y'all for your way read more

the selection was impressive, like a little bit of everything. I liked the vibes. staff was friendly. I'll definably be going back

Love this store. We drive an hour to shop here and have been doing so for years. We skip over bigger stores like Sprouts, where we can get better prices and selection, in order to support this small business. The employees are very friendly and helpful, but like others have noticed, the "owner" (or manager?) is very rude for no reason. She's petty and hostile. She snaps rudely at customers out of nowhere. When she's around, the vibe is even different. The once helpful employees become unfriendly. Keep this woman in the back doing paperwork or whatever and let her better-equipped staff handle the customers. Perhaps feed her some of your herbal mood enhancer supplements. I don't know...just don't let her anywhere near a customer service task, and this shop might survive. read more

I came up to Twain Harte to stay for a couple of months, thinking I'd have to drive back to a bigger city to find a grocery store with all of the things I like to eat. However, Nature's Whole Food Depot has just about everything I need. Beautiful, seasonal produce; my favorite, non-dairy ice cream and yogurt; good sourdough bread, yummy crackers; I could go on. The staff is friendly and helpful. I'm so happy to support a local store while I'm here. read more

This little community store is a blessing! From fresh local varieties of food to the best supplements, all your body requires to glow from inside and out. Friendly service with a smile! This store is my jam! Even fun finds for gifts and a small nursery. I love you Nature's Whole Foods! #shoplocal read more

What a great find! This store carries all the right products. If you are looking for quality natural organic products that are not made by mainstream brands, this is your store. read more

Very cool natural food store with more goodies than you can ever imagine. Super kind staff & a cute dog, too! Highly recommend for locals and travelers alike. read more

It is nice to have a natural food and supplement store in such a small urban area, but unfortunately I don't shop here as much as I would like to for several reasons. Prices are very expensive, and often I can find the same thing online for less AND have it delivered to my home. More importantly, the home delivery option is a lot more attractive mainly because a number of employees are not very friendly - some outright hostile to be honest. Many times when I have asked for help looking for something employees are not friendly and act put upon by my questions. Unfortunately, this has happened more often than not, and so I avoid shopping there because it just isn't a very pleasant experience. The vibe combined with the high cost of their stock (and frankly, often their stock is limited and/or lacking) have made it not worth the effort for me. read more

I LOVE this store, but the owners/management are not enforcing masks or any safety measure during Covid. Only about half of the customers wear masks, and the majority of staff do not wear masks. I was in there a few days ago and only one staff member was wearing a mask -- the rest had them below their chin. Since they do not care about their customer's health and well-being, I'll be taking my business elsewhere. read more

Nice products and the nursery staff are great, but the store experience is not good. I've decided I will no longer support this business. There's no reason to treat employees and customers in a demeaning manner. read more

This store has the best vitamin selection in town. Great selection of hard to find cooking items as well as ingredients for foods from different regions of the world. The reward loyalty program is pretty nice and uncomplicated. They have an excellent juice/coffee bar that serves tea as well. Very knowledgeable and friendly. read more

Love shopping here when I come to town. From food to beauty products and gifts! I have had many nice shopping trips here over the years .

I really want to continue to shop here, but it is definitely not safe during COVID-19 and I won't be back again until the pandemic is good and over. This store has made it clear that it has no interest in enforcing mask wearing among its staff or its customers; half the staff don't wear masks at all, and some wear these completely ineffective plastic chin visors. It's so disappointing. I would have expected a health food store to care more about health. If the owners read this: please consider changing your approach. You're losing customers. read more

I've gone here for years. The staff is great and I love the selection. Last week I went in with my son, we needed to find new omega 3 and i wanted him to pick out something he wouldn't mind taking every day (pill, chewable or liquid). The guy working showed my son a fridge with omega supplement yogurt where he let him pick a flavor and sample it. He was so kind to my son (age 6 with autism), which goes a long way in my book. I have to give my son supplements of different kinds that help him on a daily basis, so its important that he likes that part of our routine. The guy showed us a lot of options with pros/cons for other supplements we needed and I'm so grateful for the time and service. Now I get to make a yogurt dessert each night with a mix of yummy supplements and my son is loving the new routine. read more

I love this shop. They have unique food items you can't find at other stores. They have great customer service too!

The once nearly deserted former mill town of Standard has another business added to it's growing list of businesses. Nature's Whole Food Depot is a combination health food, farmer's market, gourmet food store located in an old train depot. I can get a lot of things here that weren't available in this area before - my foodie heart is happy. Organic chocolate, bulk organic grains, dairy products from Strauss Creamery, local and organic fruits and vegetables, local olive oils and honeys and a large variety of packaged products are all available. They will also do special orders if there is something you don''t see. The prices are higher, but that's to be expected for organic and locally produced products. Nature's Whole Food Depot supports Tuolumne County Farms. read more

I love their intentions, I love that they offer all the organic/sustainable types of products, and I love the they are a local small business! BUT I think maybe their location is holding them back. As a couple others have mentioned their stock seems to be a bit dated (depending on the product) and looks as though its all been on the shelves for a while. I absolutely believe that the Sonora area can support a business like this, but this particular location may just be a bit too removed from the main part of town. I would also love to see them have a ready made food section with maybe a few sandwiches or pasta salad type things too, which again they could probably not support in their current location, but I think would do well in town. All in all this is a great business to support! And if you are able please check them out! read more

I enjoyed the store, it had cute produce but I highly recommend that the store clerks check the expiration date of their milk. I was so excited to try the raw milk there, and after drinking it I've noticed it had already expired last Friday and I bought it on Tuesday... the milk was sour, expensive, and it wasn't very good. It was my fault for not checking myself, but store clerks should do their part too! read more

Tucked in an out-of the way corner of Sonora, Nature's Whole Food Depot is all one could ask of a local specialty grocery. They support local farms, know returning customers by name, and love what they're doing. There's a wide selection of gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan options, as well as happy meats. Their produce and fruit section is small, and the prices are higher than that of larger chain competitors, but are still reasonable. I am a definite convert, and happy to find this gem of a store this far away from the "big city". read more

Definitely a fan of this little store. I think you need to be a careful shopper here - some of their items are definitely available for less at other stores - but then they have some great deals on other items that I've seen for more in other places so it balances out. Nice folks who work there, very welcoming and friendly. A huge selection of teas, supplements, health foods, organics, a nice bulk section, organic dairy, eggs, and a little nursery out back. They also seem to carry a lot of locally sourced meats and other things. Two thumbs up! read more

Let me start off by saying I have always loved this store and the products they offer. They have an amazing garden section and usually super friendly employees. Today, on the other hand, I was treated very poorly by one of the employees. I have worked in customer service most of my life and have been through my fair share of frustrating situations so I understand sometimes these jobs can come with stress, but I don't see it ever necessary to talk down or demean a customer, no matter the situation. It's very unfortunate that the experience today has left me unsure about returning to this store because I really do love shopping there. read more

Family owned and operated. Trader Joe's meets Whole Foods in a small town mountain vibe. Excellent food selection, products, supplements, fresh juice stand, and garden center all organic for the most part. The entire family owns and operates and could not be nicer or kinder. The store itself is charming exterior and interior. Great location and easy parking. Go once and you will be a fan for life. It is this awesome. read more

The store items are overpriced compared to other stores. The owner is rude . She wanted to borrow a catalog of mine I told her it was the only one I had left and I needed it back after she looked at it. So when I went to retrieve it on several times it was no longer there she said she lost it didn't take the time to try to retrieve it or think about it just flat out can't find it it's gone very very nice of her how rude and disrespectful.NO APOLOGY OR EVEN TRIED TO REPLACE IT She is very rude to her employees. I witnessed her being pretty upset because an employee of hers was always about five minutes late because she had to take the bus and work with the bus schedule the employee approached her about that and she was rude and told her that she couldn't work there because of her bus schedule.Most of her products on the shelf it's been sitting there for ages they're not fresh she is so overstocked with dated product and why does she have to mark up the prices because of her loss in an old product that she can't sell. As far as bulk food how often do you think those bins are sanitized they just refilled how much bacteria you think that is.? Her employees are certainly nice but That's not enough for me to support her business she's disrespectful rude and grouchy if she doesn't know you if you're not from her area overpriced and grouchy read more

Myself and my little elderly neighbor shop here at the least twice a month and I can tell you we LOVE it!! they have everything and more :) The owner and all the workers there are so wonderful, whenever one of us or both need something specific , they order it for us with no problems, can't get better then that :) When I bring my 5 yr old granddaughter with us, she gets excited about going because they have a kids corner with all kinds of things to keep her busy while we shop, and she always tells me they have the best free food there (Samples) lol We are so fortunate to have this store in our town .. and the prices are so reasonable.. I just can't say enough about them.. thank you for bringing this to our town :) read more

I love this store! Being from the bay area and lived in the Valley you get used to being able to get certain foods and items. Shopping at Whole Foods or Trader Joes. When we moved here we found this gem. The staff is knowledgeable so that is very helpful! Plus they have all my natural cleaning supplies I love! Wish they had a little larger produce section though but we do have farmers markets. read more

I just moved back to Tuolumne County. One of the drawbacks of living here was the lack of specialty grocery stores. Living out of the area I got used to shopping at many health food stores. I was so pleased when visiting this store. I felt like a kid in a candy store. Freezer goods, refrigerated goods, gluten-free, my specific supplement brands, ETC. Thankful this is a shopping option here in Sonora! Yay!! read more

They do have a good amount of food you can't find anywhere else which is very nice, but the owner is very rude and the last 2 times I've been in there she has gotten an attitude with me for no reason and I think it's unacceptable. I'm a customer and I was just asking a question so there was no reason to get an attitude with me, on the other hand the rest of the staff was very nice. read more

I love this place! I visited Sonora last month from San Francisco and was nervous about finding vegan food in town. I went to Nature's Whole Food Depot and found a ton of awesome vegan eats! They had everything from cookies and veggie jerky to soy yogurt and fresh organic produce. The cashiers and owner were super nice too. If I ever find myself in Sonora again, this place will be my first stop! read more

What a beautiful find! The staff is friendly and helpful, the produce is from the local farmer's market, and the selection of natural/vegan/raw foods couldn't be better. The store seems small on the outside, but once you're in it goes on and on! It's a bit on the pricey side, but hey, we have to pay for quality these days, right? read more

You know, this is one of my absolute favorite places to shop in Tuolumne County. I can't say enough nice things about this store. I really appreciate that they stock the shelves with stuff that you just can't find anywhere else. Plus the employees are SO nice!! You'll always receive a friendly greeting and smile when you enter. I just love this place and I should also mention that the prices are actually pretty decent for health food items. Highly recommended!!! read more

Nature's Whole Food Depot is the #1 spot for you to get anything local and healthy! I stop in just to get my "Healthy Chocolate" some days along with shopping there for my garden plants, trees as well as groceries! read more

Great selection of local, organic, non gmo, good food! From farms and companies you can trust.
