Golden Carrot Natural Foods has been serving the health needs of the Napa community long before big retailers came to town. With organic foods and specialty prepared items in the frozen section, the shop offers loose legumes, grains and cereal sold by the pound. Loose herbs by Frontier are also available, and the shop stocks 30 to 40 nutritional notes that include their benefits, such as phytoestrogens as a natural approach to estrogen replacement.
