Health is wealth in this store

It has been an iconic part of Mossman's Front Street for about 40 years. 

Owner Sarah Weatherup said the shop had gone through a few different hands over the years and each owner had left their mark, taking it from the local greengrocer to the health food store it was now. 

“Although, some crucial elements remain, to keep the character of this cosy store alive, we combine products such as the much beloved soft serve frozen yoghurt, the fruit salad cups and wicker baskets of local produce with our chatty staff members to welcome visitors,” she said.

“For me, I had the privilege to work here before taking the reins and was inspired by my time in Tasmania on an organic farm where I was shown that food is medicine, community matters and that health is wealth. 

“I've had the store for over two years now and love being a part of this small community. 

“Along with a team of lovely staff, we bring a wholefoods approach to food on the go, and our falafel and pumpkin wraps, have become our signature lunch. 

“As well as our health food and beauty products, fresh local and organic produce, we carry a selection of bulk dry foods, locally sourced ferments, tea and treats.”
