Gathering the NPs from his shop's till, Quinton the Quiggle sadly noticed that sales at his Health Food Shop were declining. "There's got to be a way to get Neopians to eat healthier," he thought, "maybe I should make nutrition a little more exciting... you know, spice things up a bit." Quinton grew most of his shop's items (such as carrots, pears, and broccoli) in his own garden. Once a week a traveling salesman named Dervinn would stop by and offer Quinton a bargain on rarer items like medicinal plants and asparagus. After much thought, Quinton decided that instead of relying on Dervinn for his rare items, from now he'd pack a lunch and go off in search of his own exotic foods. After a few weeks, he felt confident enough to go looking for that rarest of health foods, the golden carrot.

Shivering in fear from his near-Jetsam experience, Quinton had hardly noticed the rumbling sound that was beginning to build throughout the mountains of Kiko Lake. Puzzled by what he now heard, Quinton looked up to see that he was about to be caught in a rockslide! Within seconds, the rocks were sure to flatten him... there was no time to waste. Looking to his left, he saw a cave that would be his only chance for survival. Running with all his might, Quinton dove into the cave just as the boulders pounded to the ground. Clutching the soil beneath him and gasping for breath, Quinton slowly raised his head and opened his eyes. It was then, that he was blinded by the glow of the golden carrot...

Located northwest of Neopia Central, Quinton's Health Food Shop is always looking for customers who appreciate the value of eating right. You should pop in sometime; it's the leafy green shop located next to the Grooming Parlour. Just think, you can eat well and look your best, too! What a great combination...
