The owners of the Organic Store at Bowral have been arrested, along with a customer, over alleged breaches of COVID-19 public health orders.
New South Wales Police attended the Southern Highlands shop just after midday on Thursday after multiple reports from members of the public about noncompliance.
Recent posts from the store on social media have carried anti-mask and anti-vaccination messages, with some of the content hidden by Instagram for "containing false information".
Police said they observed employees and customers not wearing masks and were told by those people that they did not plan to fall in line with the directive.
"They had no intention of complying with the order," Deputy Police Commissioner Gary Warboys said.

Footage of the arrest posted on the store's Instagram account on Thursday shows one of the owners being put in the back of a police wagon while the other struggles with officers.
A 62-year-old woman was arrested for refusing to provide police with her details and another woman, a 61-year-old customer, was arrested for not wearing a mask in the store.
The 62-year-old was later released however the 61-year-old was issued with a $200 penalty infringement notice for not wearing a face covering in a place of business.
A man was also charged with assaulting police and resisting an officer in the execution of duty after he followed police outside.
He will appear in Moss Vale Local Court next month.
Police say further charges and infringements are expected and that inquiries into additional public health order breaches were ongoing.
Seventy-five penalty infringement notices were issued around NSW on Thursday.
