Natural Median Organics & Fair Trade

Drove 34 miles to this nice quant little store. Owners where super nice and welcoming. While I was there many locals came in for their produce. Lokks like in the future store might end up expanding more.
Everything is organic and looks fresh and they will sell you a basket of produce for $ 20 plus $ 5 for basket. I’m pretty sure I will return although can’t say when drive was pretty long on a winding road. But here’s a picture of my beautiful basket :)

My wife and I moved up here May 4^th and we were blessed to find Natural Median Organic and Fair Trade. They have a good selection of yummy healthy produce, healthy snacks, and they even offer classes on how to best cook them. They also offer various classes like Tai Chi, and meditation by the ROSE group. If you live up here in the mountain area you have got to stop by and check it out. :-)

Wonderful organic grocery ! They seem to have a little of everything including classes — Natasha ‘s cooking class was fun, informative and delicious; William’s Saturday morning Tai Chi class is restorative and energizing, but relaxing too. I’m looking forward to their continued growth and seeing what they have to offer next !

The owners (Natasha and Art) just moved Natural Median into the «Old Library» building in Crestline, and now have room to expand with even more wonderful products! Every time I’ve gone into their store, I’ve been greeted with such warmth, and both have given me very helpful advice and knowledge about their healthy products. They are also opening up space in the back of their store for classes and workshops… How great is that?! I’m so grateful to have such a needed resource for organic products and wholesome activities up here on the mountain… and it’s even within walking distance to my house! ;-)

I keep coming back to Natural Median Organics because the owners are wonderful and the produce, fruit, bread, dry goods, are all fresh and organic. You can’t miss this place because the mountain area really needs this. The correct address is 23 830 Lake Drive, Crestline. Let’s support them, they must stay around.

Fantastic, honest people! We really needed this store here. Thank guys. Knowledgeable and willing to help in any way they can. Highly recommend this business.

We are so glad this place has opened. The mountains really needed it! Their prices are very reasonable, especially when compared with organic offerings at the other area stores.
The people that run the place are as nice as can be and very excited about what they are doing. They’ve only been at it a few weeks now, but they’re doing an incredible job. They are very selective in bringing great produce from LA wholesale suppliers as well as local farms. Ask them a couple of questions and you’ll see their enthusiasm really come through. I’m grateful that they are investing in this community and have faith that locals need better access to organic, REAL FOOD!
We’re up here about twice per month. On our way up, we stop at the post office, then Natural Median to stock up for the stay.

I just love the selection and the owners are very kind and conscientious with the products they choose to carry. I frequent them at least once a week.

Lovely little all organic store with a great produce variety from eggplant, peppers, onions, and zucchini to rare fruit! I am SO happy we have this assortment on the mtn. Great fruit assortment, plums, apples, pears… BEAUTIFUL Heirloom tomatoes for a VERY good price! Their organic eggs are cheaper than the market down the road, sooo, this is a great place to go if you just need a few tomatoes, eggs and milk or if you are planning to stock all of your produce drawers, all organic of course. They also carry some products for us folks that embrace organic products — grocery and home care items such as shampoo.
I also love that I can buy just a bunch of lettuce (instead of a whole pack in the grocery store) to use in one day, much fresher. I will be frequenting this place regularly, as their produce always changes. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because it’s so new/​small. I have high hopes!

I have been waiting for this place to open for months and was extremely impressed with what this little organic store had to offer, their prices and the very nice owner who was very knowledgeable of the products he offered. They had a few gluten free items and will hopefully offer more gluten free options. I did buy their gluten free bread and it is the best gluten free «bread» item I have bought since going gluten free. I will be back for more! They also had strawberries available that were picked that morning and they were delicious. The pricing is amazing when compared to other organic stores such as Whole Foods, Clark’s or Mother’s Market. I usually buy my organic food down the hill when I work in Orange County at Whole Foods, but will now go to this store for my organic needs. Looking forward to what they have to offer over the next few weeks.

Wonderful little organic grocery store in an abundantly stylish little A-​frame. I’ve been driving by and keeping an eye out for their opening day, and today was the day!
The offerings are small to start (thus the 4-​stars for now), but the owner said they will be increasing steadily as orders arrive from their suppliers.
Had some very interesting organic produce like pretty awesome tiny-​tiny apples (not sure of the variety, but very unique), plum-​prunes, and butter leaf lettuce. There are also organic dry goods like sugar, pasta, and other varied items.
It’s right next to the coffee shop so I’m hoping they have some shared clientele to help kickstart the business. Coffee people like organic, right?
The owner took time to talk to us about all of the products that we had questions about and was generally a super friendly and knowledgeable lady. She was talking to us about future plans like an organic café, classes, and general community building, so I’m excited to see what all they end up doing.
There were other customers in there as well and everyone was pretty excited and sharing emails & ideas with the owner. Hopefully this bodes well for the future of Crestline and can serve as a spark to get more interesting local businesses up here!
