Cambridge Naturals is celebrating its golden anniversary in providing the best choices in natural wellness items including nutritional supplements, clean body and beauty care products, organic foods and beverages, healthy lifestyle and herbal medicine supplies, and more, all at affordable prices as part of exceptional customer experiences. Co-founded by Michael Kanter and Elizabeth Stagl, the local family-owned and operated emporium is committed to sourcing products locally, organically and ethically via fair trade and direct trade channels; donating a portion of their profits to social and environmental organizations; and striving to partner with businesses owned by women and historically marginalized people.

They also offer ethical lifestyle supplies including yoga mats and reusable containers, and host a wide variety of informative classes and workshops. Further, vividly expressing that patronage supports area businesses, sales receipts show customers how much of their purchase goes towards products from local vendors.

Cambridge Naturals is a member of Cambridge Local First & Somerville Local First, certified as a Sustainable Business Leader by SBN Massachusetts, and in 2014, certified as a B Corporation, promoting business models that inherently support customers, employees, suppliers, local community and the planet. In 2021, they refocused to upholding these same values, while directing the funds and energy for recertification towards other area partners, and they continue to improve their operations at their half-century mark, especially as they transition into the second generation of family ownership.

Location: Porter Square Shopping Center, 23 White St., Cambridge, MA. For more information, call 617-492-4452 or visit CambridgeNaturals.com.
