As a Färmer -- a member of the Färm consumer cooperative -- I might be a bit prejudiced, but I…read morereally like this store. Unlike a lot of other organic stores, they don't try to force vegetarianism or veganism down your throat: there's even a quite wel stocked meat counter! Not everything they sell is organic, or at least not labeled as such, but if it isn't, it will at least be local, seasonal, and sustainable. Often there are some free tasting samples, something that always makes shopping more interesting. Färm also serves as a pick-up point for Les Paniers Verts (an organic vegetable subscription), and since they keep your box in the cooled vegetable area, it's okay if you're a bit late to collect it. The staff is mostly bilingual NL-FR, but I'm sure most will be able to help you in English as well. They don't really sell household products like washing powder in bulk (yet), so I still go to other stores for that. However, they do sell ingredients to make your own household products, but so far I didn't get around to doing that. Färm could use a bicycle rack in front of the store, but I suppose that's not only up to them to decide.

Färm used to be a great place to buy fresh, organic food from local farmers at good prices. Not…read moreanymore. The shelves are often empty, the food is frequently old, and the prices are now very high. The staff has always been unfriendly -- sometimes even rude -- and changes constantly. But the worst part is that they cheat you: prices on the shelf are sometimes lower than what you pay at the register, you can be charged for things you didn't buy, and if you ask for a receipt by email, they rudely ignore you. I avoid this place entirely.

Moor & Moor is such a cute little place to go for some lunch. We sat outside and ordered the Vegan…read moreAvocado sandwiches and some Fritz-Kola lemonade. The sandwiches were very good (watch out for the crunch though, don't break your teeth!!) and the street very nice and quiet. Would definitely come back next time I'm in Gent!

I was staying nearby and couldn't wait to try it out, so how did it go... AMAZING! I was 3 days in Gent, I had brunch here twice! Says a lot, man, if I was a local I'd be regularly found hanging out here. Lovely seating out front though even in side, they've made great use the space and got a quirky mezzanine space. As a cafe, it's also a store where you can purchase some of the yummiest organic produce plus what appeared to be locally sourced produce. The back of the store, has dispensers with nuts, grains so you can buy by the weight which is so convenient! First day, I had the avocado and goats cheese sandwich and it was so delicious, I savoured every bite. On my second visit, I had the fruit granola; wish I could have brought some home with me but still had travelling to do. If I'm ever back in town, will be the first place I go to!
