If you really are what you eat, where you shop for your food is equally revealing.

Opened in the spring of 2010 by two UBC graduates, Greens Organic & Natural Market is a community-oriented, 100% BC-owned purveyor of healthy, environmentally friendly organic products .

Shop for favourite specialty items like Glutino gluten-free foods, Kashi cereals and Simply Natural dressings and sauces. Their meat, poultry and seafood department is one of few in the city that do “whole animal butchery” on site, which uses every part of the animal, from snout to tail, and produces less waste than other butchery. 

In their health and wellness section you can stock up on quality products like Weleda Skin Food moisturizer, Flora probiotics, and essential oils by Divine Essence.

Their 7,000-square-foot space is bright, modern and enticing, with inspirational quotes placed throughout the store. If your tummy's growling, stop by Beens, their in-store cafe and deli, for a Salt Spring organic coffee, breakfast burrito or superfresh sammie.

Greens limits their environmental impact by buying local, recycling, composting, and taking part in Vancouver's Zero Waste Challenge. They also donate food to local food banks and host educational seminars for the community on subjects like foods that boost your immunity.  To boot, their loyalty card program offers special savings and reward points that can be used at Greens and other local businesses that share the market's sustainable approach.

With offerings so healthy, sustainable and tasty, you’re also what you drool over.
