But this is more than a grocery store, it's also features a delicious cafe! Some days I just crave a smoothie or a fresh juice and I know the Earth Market has me covered! Will say it's a little pricey but I find that's typical for any non-big box grocery store.

I often shop at this grocery store, they have the bulk organic products and lots of different…read moresupplements. I often find the price of same products that you can find at regular store much higher there. You will find other things that I have only seen there. There is a problem that is hard to find prices and sometimes they don't match the product on the shelf. I have bought flour at bulk section that was rancid. So now, I only buy products I know that rotate. There is one thing that is bothering me for a while and I hope they change it soon. Regular grocery stores are trying to ban the plastic bag, today I saw them offering not only the grocery bag made out of plastic but they put fliers inside each one of them. Is this store called organic just for profit or there is a philosophy behind? Please use paper bags instead and encourage less trash, no fliers and paper bags for bulk section.

As a vegan, I always get excited to see more healthy stores, not because I'm a healthy vegan but…read morebecause they usually have some unique vegan products. This place has a good selection of protein powders, supplements and various snacks, many of which are vegan-friendly. The woman working wasn't overly friendly and I felt like she was watching me and my friend like a hawk which automatically makes me uncomfortable. It is in a nice convenient spot right downtown on Barrington street, its organized very well and as mentioned does offer lots of vegan options.

This is a fantastic little spot to support our own. The Grainery is a co-op, so everyone involved…read moreis strictly volunteer based. The woman I spoke to was helpful in relaying their focus, and provided a charismatic energy to my visit. I discovered that prices are marked up only slightly, as the organization is non-profit and the co-op is just looking to pay rent every month. With such genuine intentions, its a spot to support. Besides its wide range of grains, the co-op offers pasta, dried fruit, nuts, jams and honey, chocolate, and frozen foods from treats to bread and waffles. There are even organic cleaning supplies towards the back! Its an abundant little spot with a strong backing of locals. And this goes without saying, but all of The Grainery's supply is of the local and organically made origin. While I can't do grains so much, I'll be back for the Raw Chocolate and other treats. Its a collective of people making the extra effort to provide the community with goods. A worthy trip-- food coming from a good place with the intentions to match.

'The grainery' supports other local initiatives and NGO's as well which is reason enough to support them! No pesticides have touched the goods you're apt to find at 'The Grainery,' so stop on by!

I was at sobeys on queen street in Halifax and they didn't have the Ristorante Vegan pizza I was…read morelooking for for my pregnant partner. The tag was there, there just were no pizzas. So I called sobeys on Windsor st in Halifax to see if they had the pizza in stock. They sent grocery to the aisle to check if it was in stock. He said they had it. I drove 15 minutes to get to the store only for them to not have the product in stock. Not even the tag on the shelf with no pizzas there. Just didn't have it period. I spoke with the manager to complain about my experience and she just said sorry I'll talk to him. I wasted gas, time, wear and tear on my vehicle, all for nothing, when this could have been avoided. I expected some form of compensation like a gift card or an override on another product, but no, just "sorry". So I will not be returning to this sobeys ever again, and I will be sure to leave this review in as many places as possible so people understand how bad the service is. Cheers John

It's so nice to have a spot that serves as a baby-grocery store, offering great local produce and delightful items, like cheeses from Nova Scotia and grains from New Brunswick. They also sell goods like maple syrup, frozen local and organic berries, as well as a variety of meats. You can even stop by for lunch, as they have sammies and salads, as well as coffee, tea and sweets. I love biking over in the summer and stocking up on apples. One of my favorite things to buy is their raw milk cheese from Quebec - it's a real treat, and although it only comes in small blocks it really goes the distance with its rich and flavorful taste. I support this business' mandate of offering local and mainly organic food year round, while fostering a very nice community space. You should swing by and pick up some yummy consumables today!

In a cross section done in the recent Coast 'Green Halifax' guide you can see that buying basic items such as: Speerville Mills oatmeal, apples, eggs, butternut squash and chicken-- can be found cheaper at Local Source Market, or at least on par with the Halifax Farmer's Market. Some of the things that I found particularly of note: *The Coast Green Halifax Guide *Boates Cider *Meadowbrook maple sausage *Terroir pear honey and sun gold tomato ketchup *Dragons Breathe cheeses. Lots of great choices at Local Source! Be sure to check the bulletin board for community announcements.
