Providing full-service health food stores and healthy eating cafés, helping customers maintain a purposeful, healthy lifestyle utilizing products from local vendors.

In over 30 years as the owner of both Virginia’s and Fairhope Health Foods, Lynnora Ash, is a leader in the industry, overseeing three relocations with Virginia’s, withstanding the COVID pandemic and maintaining a strong presence in both the Mobile and Fairhope communities. Virginia’s and Fairhope Health Foods provide unparalleled service, knowledgeable employees, whole foods, natural supplements, cosmetics and more, mostly from local vendors.

After 45 years of investing in healthy living and education, first with her family and then with the stores, Ash was in a good place when the recent increased popularity of alternative and herbal treatments for chronic and acute health conditions swelled. She has long shaped her businesses to offer long-lasting and contemporary remedies including an emphasis on quality customer service. She has maintained a standard of operating the stores with a concern toward education by providing her staff with ongoing training.

Ash says she is humbled to have gained the trust of so many customers, sharing her health and wellness philosophy, seeing personal successes of longevity and pain-free living. Between herself and her loyal employees, they have over 100 years combined experience in nutrition, health and wellness.

As proprietor to two restaurants: Sunflower Café and Sunflower Café II, located alongside the health food stores, quality meals have always been a standard for Ash. Open seven days a week, the cafés welcome customers old and new with open arms and are delighted to share daily specials and a delightful Sunday brunch menu.

Fairhope Health Foods now has a Tik Tok, which Ash uses to encourage her customers to have confidence when seeking out new ways of improving their health and find products that promote cleaner living. “Invest in your tomorrow by investing in your health today,” she advises.
