The True Food Co-op is a lovely welcoming shop in Emmer Green, that also hosts regular shopping nights around the area.
It is a not for profit place that obtains organic fruit and vegetables, whole foods and eco friendly products at good prices. As much as possible is sourced locally.
You can scoop staples and exotic wholesome foods in as big or small quantities as you like, with many items sold by weight. There's also a huge range of packaged goods and treats, as well as a small amount of chilled and frozen produce, such as Clives Pies (some gluten-free), Redwood's Cheezly, vegan pizza, plus Booja-Booja and Tofutti dairy-free ice creams. Yum!
An extensive range of environmentally friendly household products is also available, from fair trade washing up gloves to organic cotton buds.
The True Food Co-op can also order in items on request, so don't be afraid to ask.
All that scooping and weighing, plus the Vege Bears and Ella Organics smoothies, makes it popular with your kids too.
It is mainly vegetarian with plenty for vegans, but there are a small number of fish and meat products.
