EMPLOYEE PICK!! 🤤👏

Alec’s Ice Cream 🍨🍦

The owner, Alec, taught himself to make ice cream in elementary school for a school project and grew up exploring his relatives’ sustainable farmland. He didn’t realize how defining those childhood moments would be until he was an uninspired and unsatisfied adult perusing pints in the freezer aisle. He knew we could do better. So he perfected his signature recipe and set out to source the best ingredients our earth has to offer…

The result is the first-ever regenerative organic A2 dairy ice cream - a fully indulgent ice cream that is better for you and our planet!! 👏

WHAT IS BLACK GARLIC? 🖤🧄
Black garlic is garlic that has been cured and aged until it turns sweet, tender, chewy, and black. It was originally produced in Asian countries for its medicinal properties. But its skyrocketing popularity elsewhere in the world can be credited to its unique taste, which is similar to aged balsamic vinegar with a hint of roasted garlic.

we are fortunate enough to have an array of black garlic throughout the store, and we are very excited to have this new ready to use paste!!! 😄🤤👏

Located in aisle 1 and produced locally! Enjoy!

You can always order dog treats online at www.DoughFaceDog.com or, if you prefer to shop in person, please support our local retail partners such as Lori's Natural Foods Center, an "independent, family operated, local grocer" in Henrietta.

"Lori’s Natural Foods Center was established in 1981 by Jim Starks and his daughter, Lori. For many years, Jim and his wife Dori had always maintained a hearty garden for themselves and their family, so when the opportunity came for Jim to take early retirement after his 31 successful years at Bausch and Lomb, he put his love and appreciation for wholesome foods into his next adventure! After searching for some time, Jim purchased a small store that originally carried one line of vitamins and a few bulk items. He saw the opportunity, and with his 19-year old daughter Lori as his partner, Lori’s Natural Foods was born!"

Organically Grown Mallika Mango 🥭
With a similar shape to Ataulfo mangoes, Mallikas are much larger of a mango. They can be eaten at varying level of ripeness. While they have a firmer green skin they will have a more sour flavor resembling citrus fruits with a chalky texture. Whereas if you wait until they soften and have more yellow to their skin, they will have a rich, sweet, and honeyed taste with melon, and orange vanilla cream nuances followed by a subtle citrusy tartness. There’s no wrong way to eat them, they are truly delicious.

Have you tried one of our special new varieties of mango yet? 🤤🤤

Lori’s had the wonderful honor of doing a staff Sound Baths with Heart Openings today!! 😌🧘

Jane Anderson-Ross is the owner of Heart Openings. She is a wife, mother, and grandmother currently living in Rochester, NY. Raised in a New Jersey suburb of Philadelphia. Jane always had the gifts of love and compassion, and even as a young child, felt that her life path was to help others heal.

But in 1988, during the throws of her own trials and difficulties, Jane had a transformation that was prompted by: “Let me be Your Eyes, Your Ears, Your Hands, and Your Heart.” She began sharing her gifts through a spiritually-based newsletter, which included Divinely inspired writings and poetry.

Later she added more formal, professional training, and became a Shiatsu and Thai Message Therapist, Reiki Master, Aromatherapy, and Naturopathic Esthetician. Other modalities include Ancient Palmistry, Tuning Fork healings, Sound Immersions, Emotion Code (realeasing trapped emotions). Jane is happy to share her personal story with all who ask, and feels that her expression is best stated by the following; “It matters not what we do, but from where we come whilst doing it”.

For more information, check out Heart Openings page directly! Thank you from all of our Lori’s staff! 🥰🎶
