We source products based on their nutritional, ethical, social and environmental practices. all the products are palm oil and Gmo free in support of our local and global campaigns.
our focus is on reducing waste by suppling bulk options and plastic free alternatives to the community. we offer a wide range of food and household products. keeping in mind availability, packaging and seasonality, we source mostly organics, bio-dynamic and local products, as well as specialty items made by small scale producers.
you can find all your household bulk staples at the co-op! organic, biodynamic produce, package-free grains, pastas, beans, nuts, tea, herbs/spices, cereals, oils, detergents, soaps, oils plus more.
