You’re a total organic foodie. You whip up a batch of toasted sesame seed and honey gelato like it’s no big thing. TV dinners and frozen lasagna are dirty words in your book.

If so, you’re probably already in the know about Galloway’s Specialty Foods. In fact, you’re probably planning a trip there today, right after you finish that bowl of homemade Thom Kha Kai.

These locally famous purveyors of high-quality, local and organic groceries, specialty items, and personal care products have been alive and kicking culinary butt since 1936. Carrying thousands (9,000 organic products, to be exact) of hard-to-find products from all over the world, you name it, they’ve pretty much got it. It's said to be a favourite stop for some of the city’s top chefs.

You'll drool over their fresh food selection as well as healthful brands like Bob's Red Mill, Kinnikinnick gluten-free baking goods, and Que Pasa party snacks. There's also an impressive array of natural personal care products like non-chemical hair colouring, baby lotions and earth-friendly home cleaners.

Staying on top of food trends and the latest must-have spice or item, the folks here are serious about providing good eats and ingredients. They also offer in-store classes on health and nutrition as well as demonstrations on fermentation, canning and grain milling.

Go here to stock up all the goodies you need - whether it’s a simple bag of organic chips or the fixings for that five-course Middle Eastern meal you’ve got planned for tomorrow night.

Then invite us for dinner.
