Arrowroot Farmacy & Cafe

Arrowroot opened in 1976 and quickly became known as a great resource for people looking to restore or maintain their health & vitality.  Today, we still share in that same mission! Our knowledgeable and experienced staff is here to help you meet your health goals with a personalized nutrition & supplement plan.

Our Commitment to Quality

We care deeply about your health & wellbeing. Our commitment to organic food, pure & clean supplements & skin care is rooted in our desire to care for ourselves, our community & our world.

Our Cafe

We love our Farmacy but it wouldn't be complete without our organic, whole-food-plant-based & gluten free cafe.

Our mission is to help people understand that true healing cannot be found in a pill.  The things we do everyday, what we eat, what we think, how we move, handle stress, our social connections and outlook on life all matter to our overall health. Supplements are very helpful when used therapeutically but they cannot make up for a poor diet or other lifestyle choices. 

To that end and to take the guess work out of what to eat, we proudly serve only food that helps promote your well-being!  Try our organic smoothies, delicious homemade vegan salads, soups and sandwiches and for a special treat our homemade Arrowroot vegan & gluten free cookies, muffins and granola (only sweetened with pure organic maple syrup). We also serve organic coffee, remedy teas, & specialty drinks. Stay tuned for cooking classes coming soon!
