The Merc

Wellness Department
Plants make the best medicine — that’s the philosophy of the Merc’s Wellness team. We believe that healing begins when the mind starts to listen to the body, and we want our supplements and our personal care products to be as good for us as the food we eat.

Whether you’re looking for a great food-based, organic  multi-vitamin, locally grown and produced tinctures, organic essential oils or plant based shampoos and toothpastes without sodium lauryl sulfate, we have what you need.

We serve as a community hub, connecting our customers to local complementary medicine practitioners. Our excellent selection of holistic products & reference materials, combined with our knowledgeable staff and top-notch community of healers can help you restore your body, mind and spirit.

We Know and Love Our Vendors
We strive to choose companies who match or exceed our own ethical standards for production from farm to bottle. We have an intimate knowledge of these vendors, whether it is a small, local business or a well-reputed national company. We want to know the sources of their raw ingredients and their production methods, which is why our staff trains one-on-one with the local and national companies whose products we sell.
