Helping you care for your body inside and out!
Lighthouse Health Foods was founded in 2015 with a simple mission: to make healthy living accessible, affordable, and local. What began as a small, family-owned shop has grown into two welcoming locations in Selinsgrove, PA and Newport, PA — and now, our brand-new online store.
Our story
Family-owned and operated by Josh and Judith Mertz, Lighthouse Health Foods has always been about more than just products on a shelf. From the beginning, we’ve focused on creating a place where people can find trustworthy guidance, discover natural remedies, and enjoy wholesome foods that support everyday wellness.
By buying in bulk and partnering with local farms and businesses, we’re able to pass savings directly on to our customers — while also strengthening our community.

If you’re ever in the store and need advice, Josh is the one to ask.
