Bekah, one of our newer team members in purchasing, brings a fascinating background to the table! 

"My journey with healthy and local food, and my support for small businesses, began after college when I embarked on a one-way trip to Hawaii's Big Island. There, I immersed myself in organic farming, living a simple life in a hut without electricity. I learned the art of hula, sold produce at local markets, and became familiar with Hawaiian plant names. An interesting tidbit about me is my three-year study in herbalism with an herbalist, fueling my passion for creating herbal remedies like teas and salves. I'm open to trades, particularly for fermented foods or Scobys!"

Given her exciting background, we eagerly awaited Bekah's list of brands she was excited to explore at the INFRA show! 

  • Gaia Herbs: I have been using their products for years, and they are my go-to for all my herbal supplement needs. I trust Gaia Herbs because they prioritize sustainability, and soil health, ensuring high-quality products. As herbal remedies become more mainstream, people are increasingly seeking alternative ways to heal and maintain good health. 

  • Ancient Nutrition: I regularly use their vitamins and greens powder, and I trust the great quality of their products. I love that they source ingredients from their own regenerative farm, ensuring the highest standards. With the growing trend of people wanting to trust and understand the supplements they purchase; Ancient Nutrition stands out by being transparent and their commitment to quality ingredients. They also share a lot of educational content on various vitamins and herbs. 

  • Olipop: I am an avid Olipop consumer! I absolutely love the Root Beer Olipop; it tastes just like the classic root beer. I appreciate the high-quality ingredients and the fact that it's a probiotic and prebiotic beverage. As probiotic beverages become trendy, people are seeking healthy options that taste great, and Olipop perfectly fits the demand. 

 Trends we observed from Bekah’s selections:  

  • Holistic approach to health and wellness 

  • Sustainability and soil health that align with high quality and eco-conscious sourcing 

  • Transparency and quality are key with ingredients sourced from regenerative farms  

  • Brands that provide educational content on supplements 

  • Probiotic beverages with high-quality ingredients and health benefits, reflecting a broader shift towards healthy and flavorful probiotic options in the market
