Minglement Organic Marketplace

 Bulk Herb & Spice Apothecary – Est. 1972

Minglement started the organic food movement and bulk buying program on the island long ago, when organic wasn’t as popular as it is now and led the way to support the islands farms sourcing eggs, produce, foods and art. In addition, the apothecary from the early days in the 70’s has grown extensively over the last 25 years to become a trusted resource for makers, herbalists, and cooks seeking high-quality ingredients for health and well being. Be sure when you visit to check out the over 250 fragrant herbs, spices and teas.

Loyal customers from the island and beyond visit regularly for our extensive selection of herbs, spices, and supporting products. Aromatic herbs, spices, and teas, all available in bulk are sourced from smaller independent local and regional organic herb growers, ethical spice traders, and sustainable wild crafters.

We keep things simple like the smaller European markets, where you can pick up what’s needed for the day’s meal. Choose among organic high quality meats, many from the island’s family farms or fisheries, as well as organic dairy, pantry items and produce from local food hubs.

May you find inspiration for making organic homemade meals more often as well as your own herbal remedies, tonics, body care, and heartfelt gifts for family and friends.

It is fitting that at the very heart of our island is a place to warm up with locally roasted coffee and conversation, as well as to shop at this very special marketplace that links to a nostalgic Vashon past while also pointing to an essential vision of a healthier, greener future.

The Minglement ensures that they do not to compromise on what a neighborhood store ought to offer: friendship, trusted products, and customized service. Stop by where the locals shop when you’re in the area for a little something different. Excerpt – from article by Rhondi Lightmark
