Artesian Natural Foods

I started shopping at Artesian when I first was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. I wanted to go the natural route to better help with pain and to help my life go a little more smoother. The staff here are very knowledgeable and helpful.

Very friendly & helpful employee helped me on my first visit. Came in for some chlorophyll & re-​stocked on some ACV & coconut oil as well as some treats for my puppy I will be back for sure!

Great place! They are super helpful! I love supporting small local businesses and they carry some African products I was only able to purchase online!!! I love this place! They are a bit pricey but small token to pay to the NATURE GODS!!! LOL!!!

Artesian is wonderful! I love that it’s a small, locally owned business. Also, you can’t beat their customer service. The employees basically bend over backwards to help you out. Their prices may seem high to someone who isn’t used to shopping at health food stores, but compared to others, they are pretty reasonable.

This place almost has every supplement on the face of the planet. That said, everything is marked up significantly so I’d recommend buying things here that you couldn’t find elsewhere (i.e. The Internet). I like the atmosphere. The food items are awesome. Kind of crowded. Staff is helpful and friendly.

When I’m in Stockton, Lincoln Center is my place to go! And I recently discovered this great natural health food store. They have everything you can ever need, vitamin & supplement-​wise. Good parking & good location make this a plus for me.

Love this place. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the prices are less than Greens. I used to shop at Greens until the Owner was very rude to me one morning. Now I am a Artesian shopper!

I discovered this while Unilocaling for a health food store. My first visit was to purchase a more natural multivitamin. The employee was very helpful in guiding me in finding one. It gets one star knocked off because the prices are high. I found the same item cheaper on amazon. But for convenience, I wouldn’t mind making another visit for supplements and personal care.

If this place had longer hours then I’d rate it 5 star. It has little /​no competition in town, yet better or same prices compared to V World or online, respectively on the items (including protein powder and skin care). There’s a mass of able bodies offering help. Selection is impressive considering the size of the store.

I just wanted to say what a great store Artesian Natural Food is. I was recently diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitus (bladder disease). I was searching for a store that carried probiotics and marshmallow root capsules that are supposed to help my disease. I found the store online and decided to check it out. The store is in the Lincoln Center and was easy to find. I walked in it was fragrant of natural herbs and spices. I was greeted by friendly staff and they quickly located what I had come for. I was surprised at the large amount of the Gluten Free foods and natural foods they stock. I also have Gluten Sensitivity so I will definitely be back. I found what I needed at reasonable prices and my son even had an organic chocolate cookie. He loved it! If you are into homeopathic medicine or just want to eat healthier foods it is a great place to get what you need.

Great place but liked it more when they were in the other location. Now it seems like the prices have gone way up. But if i need specialty things i know they will have it.

Still love this place. But I think because of its popularity, the prices have been hiked.
There are things I get here, and there are things I don’t.
Particularly my gluten free items :/​I can get brown rice pasta for a HECK of a lot cheaper elsewhere– Trader Joe’s, Raley’s, Asian Supermarkets.
And Apple Cider Vinegar. Safeway all the way.
But I have to say– the service is still amazing. It’s clear they know their stuff.

Has so much great health stuff that’s hard to find. Love this place.

This place has GREAT content but INFURIATES me at the same time. The hours are a joke. I have been there both too early and too late and wanted to scream every time. As someone who goes to school and works, I find it very hard to get there after they open at TEN in the morning and before SIX THIRTY in the evening.
I love the goods, but despise the hours. I would be spending much more money there if their hours were more reflective of average Americans’ schedules. I end up having to go to a store that doesn’t carry my vegan staples, though I’d rather be buying things at Artesian’s.

Man! Why didn’t I find out about this place until now?!
For a small health foods store in Stockton, this place is clean, organized, well stocked, has lots of variety, and not crazily unreasonable priced (which I GREATLY appreciate).
Obviously their products are going to be slightly more expensive than your average grocery store, but I mean that’s what comes with shopping at a health foods store.
So if you’re a health junkie or have certain dietary restrictions (vegan, vegetarian, gluten-​free) this place will most likely have almost everything you need!
Ezekiel bread, soy ice cream, protein supplements, beauty products, vegan cheese, snacks, and best of all: VEGAN MARSHMALLOWS!
Definitely one of the few small health foods stores with the nicest variety I’ve seen at reasonable prices. Oh and you can grind your own almond butter here!
Health freaks go go go!

I moved to Stockton 3 months ago. I lived in West Los Angeles for 5 years and it was natural for me to seek out a natural foods store (Los Angeles is decently health conscious!)
Here is my experience of this place–
1. 90% of vitamins have MAGNESIUM STEARATE and GELATIN. VERY DISAPPOINTING to see. True health nuts or Mercola followers aren’t purchasing any supplements here!
2. The male owner is RUDE. He compared my mom’s memory slip with his mom’s aging memory (my mom is in her 40’s, his mom is in his 90’s– two very different reasons for memory slips and his comparison was very insulting for me).
3. Pasturized Kombucha– really? What would GT Dave say…
**Mostly from the unpleasant encounter with the male owner, I WILL NEVER return to this store. I’ll make special accommodations elsewhere to get raw milk and buy everything else they have there online where I’ll find quality ingredients (example– Turmeric from Organic India is fantastic, it’s purely turmeric in a vegetable capsule!). The only positive thing I have to say is some of the staff they’ve hired are really sweet people.

I like holistic healing and natural remedies and try to use natural products as much as I can (afford). I went here today to pick up a bar of Olive Oil soap for my dry winter scalp. This will be my first time using Olive Oil in my hair so we shall see! I like Artesian because if there’s something you are looking for but isn’t in the store, the ladies behind the counter can order it for you if it’s in their catalog. I’ve ordered Henna from them last year and today I ordered Mochi rice puffs… they’re the best whole grain snack I’ve ever had, seriously! I’ve looked at every natural foods store, and Japanese specialty stores, for this product and Artesian has placed an order for me!
Yes, they are pricey but which health foods store isn’t? If you know of one, let me know :-)

I just have to write an update. I had some… shall I say… digestive issues recently and Artesian set me right as rain again! I knew I’d find just what I needed and… I did!

I LOVE this store to death. I have been going here since I was little with my parents as far back as I can remember.
I’ve been there since they were located over by Bev-​mo and recently they moved over to Lincoln center. Personally I think it was an amazing choice, the store looks great, and they will definitely get more foot traffic.
The quality of products in the store has definitely improved since they moved. I feel incredibly sterile walking in there, not to mention they have vitamins, teas, and natural pain relievers of all kind. The staff is ALWAYS helpful in assisting the customers to find whatever they need. They always have been, regardless of their location.
If I can’t prove to you enough how wonderful this store is, I live in Los Angeles and every time I come home I come to this store because I love it so much. I am an absolute health freak and I thrive on natural organic medication because I believe that drugs of any kind (OTC or even prescription drugs) should be the last resort, and your body won’t be able to absorb it as well if you use such drugs too often.
Next time I go home to visit I’ll be bringing back pictures to update :) I love this store so much!

Stopped in today to pick up some vitamins for the sister type person…
I have been going here for vitamins and such for years now… I do still order the bulk of my stuff online but when I need something specific and I need it now this is my place in Stockton to go.
Its a nice, small, clean store. there isnt stuff crowding the shelves and everything is nice and organized. The staff there is pretty darn attentive… I walked three steps in the door and…
BAM
«Hello there sir can I help you find anything today?»
I told her what I needed and I had my stuff and was out the door in 3.8 minutes.
The only thing is that they are a bit on the pricey side… they give you a little punch card that is worth 5 bucks when you buy a certain amount of stuff there but its like 100 bucks of stuff before you get that. I guess if you are there alot it might totally be worth keeping in your wallet.
On a side note:
The store has been there so long it has the distinct aroma of vitamins and healthy stuff. I guess I spend alot of time in places where the commerce is bad for me because its a foreign smell.
And…
The door at the entrance you have to PUSH to enter… it does not swing both ways. Practically every single time I come here I try to pull the door open and I feel like an idiot.
I prob look like one too… but I guess its all good.
