Retailer Focus

Sherwood Wholefoods Ltd is a thriving well established independent health food shop, which has been supporting and serving its local community and beyond since 1995. It is located in the flourishing town of Market Drayton in Shropshire.

We are an organic whole food shop based in Knighton, in the Welsh borders. We specialise in selling locally grown organic produce as well as having a wide range of whole foods including Clearspring products available.

Nourish & Flourish Wholefoods is a brand new independent store which has opened at The Mill Outlet in Batley, West Yorkshire. It is part of a historic former textile mill in what was once the heart of the Yorkshire textile trade.

We took over the shop in May this year, running it as a co-operative, owned and run by the community, after the previous owners were unable to keep going. We registered as a Community Benefit Society, meaning we are essentially “not-for-profit” with any profits the shop does make going back into the business and in future, to community outreach projects to spread the word about healthy eating and living.

We are the UK's only zero waste shop, selling over 150 organic, plant based foods that come without the packaging. We opened March 2017 and have received an overwhelming amount of interest from other enthusiastic people that are planning to set up a similar shop of their own.

At Vibrant Health Spa we Specialise in Detoxification & Cell Nourishment to assist the body to vibrate at its highest potential. The methods we use are Colonic Irrigation, Plant Based Nutrition, and Herbal Medicine.

The Seasons was established in 1971, by Diana Philips. She was a Quaker farmer from Kent, and wanted to bring Organic and Biodynamic food to the Community. Forest Row has an amazing alternative community, so the shop soon grew into a busy social meeting place for locals.

I purchased the shop in December 2015 as an ongoing concern. It has been a Health Food Shop for many years and I didn't want to see the shop closing, as it is important to keep the community spirit alive. It is a good place to have a chat and ask advice.

We opened our first Wild Honey store in East Oxford at the end of 2014, and our second, in Summertown, North Oxford, last Summer. Last month, we were awarded Best Independent Retailer at the Natural & Organic Europe Awards.
