REVIEWS:

“As an organic products lover I’ve never experienced a shop with this amazing selection and prices in Toronto! I wish I had gone here earlier and not spend so much money on other organic stores or buying healthy/organic products at regular grocery stores. Even compared to the big chains that are supposed to be inexpensive, here the prices and selections are better. I would go here rather than Whole Foods every day to be honest.” –Teele R
