Orchard St. Is Back (Plus Our Favourite Ritual & Ceremonial Products)

There's a much loved natural health brand that's making a gentle return to the scene, and we couldn't be more excited to showcase their incredible offerings…

Orchard St, founded by Naturopath Kirsten Shanks in 2012, has made huge impact in Sydney's plant based eating and herbal medicine scene for over a decade. After closing the doors of her four iconic Sydney stores (Bronte, Paddington, Manly, and Bondi) in mid 2024, Orchard St has entered a period of gentle transformation now bringing its Naturopathic inspired products directly to you, which we proudly stock in our store.

The Vision Behind Orchard St

Kirsten Shanks is known for her gentle nature paired with an adventurous spirit. She’s a qualified Naturopath who was inspired to create Orchard St. (named after Manhattan's lower east side) following a trip to New York where she originally witnessed the beginnings of the cold-press juice and raw food movement flourishing. Recognising a gap in the Australian market, she launched a holistic juice and Naturopath brand focused on the remedial potential of plant medicines in an accessible way.

The essence of Orchard St. lies in its guiding philosophy of "botanical connection", that aims to cultivate reverence for the natural world while inspiring mindful, intentional choices and ritual. Since its inception, its nurtured more than just exceptional products; its created a thriving, connected community united by a shared passion for plant wisdom and holistic health.

Orchard St exists as a portal for connecting us to the healing potential of nature. Its commitment to quality and integrity aligns perfectly with our store's values. Each product is crafted with intention and respect for Mother Earth, offering you an authentic pathway to incorporate natural wellness into daily rituals.

The mystical charm of herbal apothecaries has always been at the heart of Orchard St… It has a distinctive approach to natural health that brings traditional herbal wisdom to the modern world. This is why their products have become some of our most treasured offerings

Ritual & Ceremonial Wares Collection

Kirsten’s relaunch of Orchard St has softly began with ritual and ceremony. These are a conscious curation of beloved ritual tools and ceremonial wares to weave the sacred into everyday life, perfect for creating intentional moments of connection with nature and self.
