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.
