JEFF GARNER: OWNER/OPERATOR
Jeff was born in Columbia. He grew up watching his mom and dad run Garner's Natural Life. His family decided to expand in 2010 and he moved back home to Columbia to open and run that location. With so much community support, the family was blessed to open up a fourth store in Lexington, SC in 2019. You won’t see him much because he is always in the back receiving products or paying bills. When he is not at the stores he loves cycling and spending time with his pugs.

sam
Wellness Associate/ APhA Certified Diabetes Provider, Host Defense Mushroom Mycelium Consultant
Samantha Lindeman is a graduate of the University of South Carolina with a Doctor of Pharmacy Degree (PharmD). While Sam was in her last year of pharmacy school in 2020-2021, GOD called her to go down the natural route instead of the pharmaceutical route. Her final seminar project was on dietary means to control blood pressure and from then on she loved to look at GOD's creations to help heal the body. GOD placed on her heart that Garner’s was where she needed to be, so here she is!
