Let’s work together
As a small, local business, we at Natura love to support other regionally local artisans, crafters, and vendors. We recognize the value of a self-sustaining, community-based economy and creating relationships with local makers.
We strive to carry unique products our guests can’t find at all the big box stores. Much time and care have gone into creating a curated shopping experience for community members. The apothecary space is intended as a haven for guests to browse slowly, enjoying their time, selecting new and exciting items they may have never seen before. In cultivating this experience, we are always seeking new, innovative, and regionally local products to add to the mix.
We hold the products we carry to a gold standard. We like working with companies that are family owned and create unique products that are natural and organically based. We believe you can truly feel the energy of a product that was crafted with intent and beauty.
