Old Familiar Ways - Fairport Harbor

Locally owned, owner always in. Great teas, and interesting blends! So many things to see! Bulk herbs, unusual herbs, some metaphysical things, rocks, candles, incense. Smells wonderful in there Go take a look!

Great local herb shop! Patty is knowledgeable and her shop is a great local resource to us for herbs and teas!

If it’s an herb or herbal tea you need IT IS HERE! Nancy is an LPN and holistic healer I swear. Her hand poured candles are an obsession of mine and I can find my alternative medicine modalities here every time I go. The best part about this place is the conversation. The herbs are always potent and effective, her tea bags are non bleached organic material, she scours the earth for the highest quality ingredients for her signature skincare items and tinctures. Come flu season I swear by only her Elderberry syrup as does the entire town apparently bc she sells out so quickly. Crystals, literature, unique gifts can also be found here.

They sell expensive oils but there are no testers there. They have singular ones on the shelves that look like they are testers because there are only one of each scent. If you smell them, you have to buy them. The owner bragged about making a woman buy a whole bunch of different oils for smelling them. They made a lot of money in oil sales that day.She just made me buy a $13 oil because it looked like a tester oil. Then she made snide remarks that I bought my friend already opened merchandise. People are buying oils based off of the scent. If a company is charging $10+ for 5-10mL of scented oil, they should allow the customer to smell different ones so they can pick out which one they want. They should have a tester area apart from the merchandise like every other store that sells perfumes, cologne, or expensive oils.

Amazing experience! Love patty and all the goodies she has to offer and cultivates herself! ? thanks for this gem of a shoppe.
