A post shared by Alberta Cooperative Grocery (@alberta_coop) on

Alberta Cooperative started life in 1997 when neighbors decided they wanted a place at the heart of their community where they could get their hands on healthy, natural food products that were also affordable.

Still community-owned to this day, Alberta Cooperative’s beautiful building stocks organic foods, zero-waste household items, and all your everyday groceries, from tea to coffee to — of course — maple syrup!

They also specialize in more niche dry goods that will really give your dishes a kick, such as molasses, vegan mayonnaise, and nut butters.

What else? Because Alberta Cooperative is community-owned, you can become an owner, too!

Online shopping available: No.

When you want to bulk buy your cereals, breakfasts, nuts, seeds, grains, and flour, you can always count on Bob’s Red Mill. Described as an “employee-owned manufacturer of whole foods,” the joint was founded by lovebirds Bob and Charlee who loved each other — and they also loved as healthy, organic foods (and delicious vegan cookies, just saying, mhmm).

Fast forward to the modern day, and Bob’s enthusiasm continues to thrill his employees and customers alike. He and his merry band of men and women have helped to bring the store into the modern world, with the website featuring a top-notch blog that’s regularly updated with meal ideas and tips. They’re also super active on social media. Check them and their cakes out!

What else? Bob’s Red Mill also sells world-class gluten-free products.

A post shared by Sheridan Fruit Co. (@sheridanfruitco) on

If there’s one thing NatureHub likes better than a fruit market, it’s a fruit market with real history behind it. Founded wayyyy back in 1916 by John Sheridan, this fruit market is now owned by the Poleo family, who bought it in 1946. With a focus on top-quality groceries and convenience foods, Sheridan’s Fruit Market sells all your basic needs in bulk, from nuts and spices to dried fruits and grains.

Ideal for families as well as specialty cooks, Portland’s number one fruit market is always alive with rich smells produced by the likes of radicchio and sweet onions. They’re also 100% dedicated to zero waste and doing their bit for this great planet of ours.

What else? Despite its name, Sheridan’s Fruit Market also specializes in meats. We also love the cute little gift boxes you can buy.

Online shopping available: Yes.

You can’t beat a co-op. You also can’t beat one that says they’re “committed to providing access to the best, most sustainably sourced groceries available.”

Their produce is mainly bought from local farmers and includes the likes of eggs, nuts, sauces, seeds, beans, legumes, teas, and coffee.

Ashland's Own Shop'n Kart

Most of the produce in the store comes from local growers, and while the prices are low, the quality remains high.

Shop’n Kart’s USP, however, is that it sells its produce in bulk. From the likes of ramen noodle bricks to pastas to sweets to spices and everything in between, Shop’n Kart is the place to go if you want to keep the costs of your organic food shopping down without sacrificing quality.

What else? Zero waste supplies are in abundance here and include mason jars, metal tins, glass containers, and more.
