At Johnson Vine we are obsessed with an organic, sustainable, and natural lifestyle.
We love high quality food, especially farm to table restaurants, farmers markets, elevating our wellness strategy, finding out what’s new and natural in skin care, and exploring the freshest chemical-free makeup.
We’re no experts, but we find this super fun and wanted to share our finds with you in case you love it too (or want to dip a toe in the filtered water pool)!!
