I wrote some time ago on my page about my love for a small local store called Black Forest Acres in my area. I normally order many of my natural, vegan products online, but if ever I am looking for a new product or need to pick up one of my staple products, although a bit pricey, I can do that in a pinch at Black Forest Acres II. Well tonight changed all of that. My family and I have been vegan for a couple of years and stopped using products with certain chemicals like aluminum in deodorants and fluoride in toothpaste. I would consider myself pretty knowledgeable in this area. I walked into Black Forest acres in East Windsor and there was an employee at the counter that I didnt recognize(I am a regular at this location), although she was at the counter with a customer, she immediately shifted her attention to me and my whereabouts in the store...My mission was to purchase my favorite deodorant by Natures gate, Dr Bronners soap, toothpaste and a list of items that I didnt get to order online over the holidays, well of course I became interested in some other products. When you see a deodorant that you have never used before, do you just take it home to smell it? No...you open it, smell it and make your decision after that. Meanwhile, this woman is still staring me down and yells down the aisle in a very condescending and undermining tone that "I cant open up the products because they are natural and I could damage the product". With a simple "sniff test"? I doubt it. Am I the first person to pop open a deodorant cap to smell the product? I doubt that either....there is no safety seal, or wrapper that was disturbed or broken. She saw the look on my face then says "I am sorry if I offended you". Well if you have to say it, then you know you were absolutely offensive...so I put back the products that I was going to purchase, put my $300 list of products that I need to purchase for my family and drove to Whole Foods to buy the things I need for my family. My money obviously has no value here anymore.

Great natural store! Black forrest has an abundant selection of supplements, Organic foods, natural ingredients, herbal remedies and essential oils. For your needs in any of these areas, Black forrest is a cut above the normal natural foods/supplement store. If you are in Hamilton Square or any of the other locations, stop by and get some naturals!

Great place to be healthy! The staff is knowledgeable and have been able to answer all my questions. The warm lunch during the week has made this my favorite place for a bite to eat. Their gluten free items (both lunch and grocery) have made this a go to place for my family.

This is a great little grocer that specializes in healthy foods and supplements. They regularly stock some hard to find products that I repeatedly purchase. I love the sugar free coconut milk,and the fruit flavor omega 3&6 fatty acids

Although some of their items seem to be priced a little high, they have a very large selection of vitamins, nutrients, as well as various other healthy items.
