Our staff have a genuine interest in organic food and natural remedies; they are passionate and knowledgeable about the products we sell. Through regular training courses and on-the-job learning, they stay up-to-date and are always ready to answer your questions.
Before opening Oliver’s Wholefood Store in Kew Sara had been a chef in a vegetarian restaurant, imported fresh organic fruit and vegetables from the West Indies and West Africa, had a company selling fresh organic orange juice, taught dance and aerobics, and worked at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition.
Sara opened Oliver’s Wholefood Store in 1989 because organic food was difficult to source. Having seen people get well from life-threatening diseases using only natural foods and supplements, she wanted to put her (and the bank’s money) where her mouth was.
Shelly is a recent U.S. expat who owned her own stationery shop for 20 years in California and later worked at a Bay Area Natural Grocery store where she was immersed in the world of organic and local meat, produce, and groceries.
She worked and lived in what some say is the "foodie" epicenter, as many of the world's most renowned food experts and innovators - from Michael Pollen and Jessica Prentice (who coined the term "locavore"); to Alice Waters , and Molly Katzen - reside, work and shop.
When Shelly isn't eating or thinking about good food, she likes to take her two dogs (who braved the journey to the UK) on long walks with her wife Kathy, and catch the local theatre or cinema when she can.
