Favourite things at Big Carrot Natural Food Market

it's not just for the eco-conscious and organic/vegan-minded. The staff also gives great service.

wide selection compared to cramped little health stores elsewhere, a separate store devoted just to vitamins and supplements and stuff

great selection of good food

Sure it's expensive but they give a good chunk of there profits to charitable organisations and are really committed to high standards when it comes to healthy, organic foods.

They have the best and widest variety of foods for special health diets in one place. Such as gluten free, casein free and organics. I love the vegetarian cafe that I can eat there or take out with my groceries. Also a great way to sample and test different dishes with the familiy.

Awesome selection of produce, packaged goods, grains, nuts etc all in ONE place, love it.

not only is the entire atmosphere totally different from a regular grocery store (shopping becomes an "experience" rather than a "chore") but you can find a huge & wonderful variety of eclectic, ethical, and most of all delicious food, plus the little "pharmacy" attached is a great place to find yummy smelling natural products to rub all over your bod. AND, as a bonus, the cashiers tend to be pretty rad-looking (rad= interesting bordering on weird).

it's got great selection and just feels warm and welcoming.

They've just expanded and they have a huge selection of organic foods, natural products, cosmetics, recipe books and dried fruits and grains in bulk.

it's so nice, plus it's a co-op not a heartless corporation.

they have an amazing selection of natural foods and personal products

they sell Kicking Horse Coffee - the best organic shade-grown free trade coffee out there!

they carry fresh organic produce and the best organic bacon east of the DVP

they have a a great selection of produce, and all sorts of stuff and it just feel sooooo good to buy organic. The staff are super friendly and helpful too!

Newly renovated and expanded; LOVE Carrot Common; it's right by Book City and a kickass juice bar; Whole Foods is SO OVERPRICED.
