Aberdeen
and
Natabu: A Match
Made In Heaven
Natural Abundance has been a part of
the Aberdeen community for over 34
years, and never has this been more
evident than over the last few months.

October found us at NSU, engaging
the students there in a conversation
about health and wellness. December
saw us contributing to and celebrating
the holidays with the Aberdeen
Chamber of Commerce and our
friends in local business.
Now, while we absolutely love being
out and about, we also love hosting. To
celebrate Bulk Foods Week, our own
Jenny Menzel demonstrated, in-store,

and suggestions for tasty
accompaniments.
Finally, we've forged an alliance with
TM Fitness, which will allow us the
opportunity to combine our organic
and natural products with their
dedication to physical wellness. So, to
say the least, we've been busy, but we
wouldn't have it any other way. If you,
or your organization thinks that we
can add positively to a future event,
don't hesitate to let us know. We'd be
more than happy to further strengthen
our commitment to Aberdeen.
