How We Got Started
Apple Crate Naturals, founded in 1997 by Brenda Harris, is a family-owned and operated health and wellness store. As a new mother, Brenda's quest for natural remedies for infants and children ignited her passion for healthier living. Her vision and dedication led to the establishment of Apple Crate Naturals, which has grown from a modest 800 sq ft store in historic Hope Mills to two thriving locations in Hope Mills and Fayetteville. The store's growth has been fueled by a genuine commitment to inspiring healthier communities and connecting individuals to real food and natural alternatives.
Today, the stores stand as a testament to Brenda's commitment to promoting organic products and empowering communities. As a family business, Brenda's adult daughters, Emily and Allison, have joined the endeavor and now play an essential role in managing the store. Their collective efforts and warm, knowledgeable approach have made them a trusted haven for health-conscious individuals seeking natural solutions.
At ACN, our educated staff is always ready to provide friendly and knowledgeable service, assisting customers in making well-informed choices for their health. With a focus on strict product standards, we ensure that every item on our shelves meets our commitment to quality and sustainability. We take pride in being a trusted source of information, empowering individuals to embrace healthier lifestyles.
Beyond the store, we love connecting with other passionate retailers through industry organizations, working together to support the quality and continued availability of natural products.
As we continue to nurture our vision for a healthier Fayetteville, ACN is poised for growth and expansion. While we anticipate exciting developments in the near future, our focus remains on enriching lives through nature's goodness.
Join us on this natural journey, where wellness and community thrive hand in hand. At Apple Crate Naturals, we're more than a store; we're a family united by a shared commitment to health and harmony.
