Village Apothecary is an industry-leading, family-owned pharmacy in the most famous small town in America—Woodstock, New York.
Not only are we an old-fashioned independent pharmacy with a number of modern services like prescription syncing, vaccines, and home delivery, but we are leaders in natural products and wellness.
Neal Smoller, PharmD, our founder and pharmacist, has long recognized the benefit of natural products like supplements and vitamins in his patients’ lives, but felt most who promoted natural medicines rarely had the qualifications to speak about them. They did so—and confidently so—with very little scientific evidence.
Neal decided to help reestablish a conventional healthcare professional’s role as leaders in holistic care. He developed the Holistic Standard, a comprehensive approach to true, no-BS holistic care.
Within the Holistic Standard is the Supplement Quality Standard, the industry’s first model for thoroughly ensuring a product’s quality.
Village Apothecary has an extensive wellness offering.
Supplements, vitamins, minerals, probiotics, omegas, and much more line the shelves along with natural skincare, healthy superfoods, and even pet nutrition.
Dr. Neal curated a line of high-quality supplements that meet or exceed his Supplement Quality Standard, called Woodstock Vitamins. He then launched WoodstockVitamins.com, an online brand devoted to bringing Dr. Neal’s expertise and products to an audience far outside of our hometown of Woodstock.
With all of this, it’s quite clear to see how we think outside the pillbox when it comes to caring for our patients.
Our tiny shop in Woodstock is quite the beehive of health and wellness activity. If you’re local or visiting our famous town, stop in to see us and get a new start on a healthy, happy life!
We stay committed to the practice of pharmacy, especially small, family owned community pharmacy. We spend alot of time advocating for change in the healthcare system, where ambitious local people like Neal are on a level playing field. We’ve had some small victories, and hopefully more will come.
We cherish the role we play in the lives of our neighbors’ and friends’ health and happiness. We take many opportunities to give back and be charitable. We’re listening to what other pharmacies are doing. We’re watching trends in healthcare. We’re recognizing opportunities and taking them.
Our future is leading in true holistic care. We do so with Neal’s Holistic Standard model.
Because of the support we’ve received from the great communities we serve, we can proudly say that Village Apothecary will be a leader in the provision of pharmacy care. Thank you for giving us reason to be the best!
