Based on our travels, recommendations from friends and colleagues, and top reviews online, we’ve put together a comprehensive list of the best shops around the country for organic, local groceries, diet-specific products, and of course, vitamins and supplements. – Eat This, Not That!
There are a variety of Wellness Classes you can take at Adawehi. The instructors are highly trained and the courses are open to all levels of student.

These include emotional-release massage therapy, colon hydrotherapy, foot reflexology, chiropractic care, hot stone massage, and more.

Visit Beneficial Foods organic grocery for a unique, relaxing shopping experience where health abounds! Recently named by Eat This, Not That! as the “Best Health Food Store in North Carolina.”
You will find specially selected organic grocery items, local produce (grown in the Adawehi Greenhouses!), gluten-free foods, naturally gentle personal care items, and earth-friendly cleaning products.
Adawehi’s hiking trails are an easy walk that meanders along White Oak Creek, past an abundance of native plants and the occasional wild turkey. The trails are located in our Stewardship Forest – a North Carolina Forest Service designation we received for the wise use and conservation of Adawehi’s forest resources, including wildlife, timber, soil, water, recreational opportunities, and natural beauty. A new addition to our trails is the Adawehi Labyrinth – a serene, sacred setting for all to enjoy.
You can stay at one of our serene Bed & Breakfast rooms, take a walk on the trails of our Stewardship Forest, exercise in our Fitness Facility, participate in Adawehi Community Events, and shop at our organic grocery, Beneficial Foods.
You’ll also be near several popular tourist destinations in the beautiful foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina.

Just as you have four aspects of yourself that interact with the world (your mental-self, emotional-self, physical-self, and spiritual-self), so do you have four ways of thinking about those interactions.
In professional settings, when you expand your communication, you manifest together more effectively!
