In a world where convenience often leads us to big chain stores, there’s something truly special about supporting local businesses. At go natural foods in Hervey Bay, we believe every purchase creates a ripple effect, positively impacting our community and bringing us closer together. Shopping local isn’t just about buying products—it’s about investing in our community’s future, supporting our neighbours, and experiencing the unique flavours and quality that only local can bring.
A Taste of the Local Difference
When you shop at Go Natural Foods, you’re not just filling your basket with groceries—you’re embracing the essence of our region. From fresh, organic produce grown nearby to artisanal products crafted by passionate local makers, each item tells a story. Take Bundaberg Ferments, for example. Their kombucha and sauerkraut are not only delicious but also packed with gut-loving probiotics. Handcrafted just up the road in Bundaberg using traditional techniques and high-quality, often locally sourced ingredients, these ferments are as good for you as they are for the environment.
Supporting local isn’t just about what you buy; it’s about knowing who you’re buying from. When you pick up a jar of Toogoom Raw Honey or Glory Honey, you’re supporting dedicated beekeepers like Chris Hall. Chris not only harvests some of the best honey around but also works tirelessly to keep our local bee populations thriving. These small but mighty pollinators play a critical role in our food supply, and by choosing local honey, you’re directly contributing to their protection.
Community, Not Just Commerce
Shopping local means investing in the people who live and work in our community. Every purchase helps keep our farmers, bakers, and makers in business, creating jobs and supporting families. When you buy Brother Brother Eggs, you’re not just getting fresh, free-range eggs—you’re supporting a family-owned farm committed to ethical practices and animal welfare. It’s these connections that make shopping local so meaningful.

Jen from Integrity Health brings over 30 years of naturopathic expertise to her range of handcrafted skincare products, including the much-loved Skin Magik Moisturiser. Made in small batches to ensure the highest quality, Jen’s creams and balms are infused with healing herbs like Calendula, Lavender, and Rose Geranium. Gentle enough for sensitive skin, these soothing creations reflect Jen’s deep understanding of herbal medicine. Choosing Integrity Health means embracing products that nurture your skin while supporting a local naturopath who pours her heart into every creation.
When you purchase from brands like Sunkist Live Sprouts, you’re choosing fresh, nutrient-dense produce grown nearby, reducing food miles and supporting sustainable agriculture. Every product you buy is a vote for the kind of world you want to live in.
