You’re searching for an organic grocery store that’s out of this world.

Pack your rocket and head to Planet Organic.

Once you enter, you’ll think you’ve traveled through time and landed in an old- fashion mercantile. Over seven feet of bulk goods line one side and the rear houses an inestimable selection of flour (coconut, spelt, almond, rice, garfava) that is bagged and displayed on wooden shelving.

Orbit the store to discover everything from organic candies and nuts, to soap and body products, to frozen foods and treats. Even beauty gets a boost with natural toothpaste, cosmetics and hair colour. And of course, they offer an astronomical selection of organic produce.

Jet over to the baked goods section for fresh-from-the-oven muffins, scrumptious flatbreads and the irresistible Cosmic Power Cookie. The deli section offers an alternate to fast food for those hectic days. Take home a quick meal of Vegetable Shepherd’s Pie, a lentil loaf or Edamame Salad.

The Planet Organic story started with one store in Northern Alberta back in 1978. Owner Mark Craft began expanding in 2002 and its galaxy now includes eight stores across Canada.

A commitment to health and wellness through education (watch for weekly seminars at each of their locations) and charitable works (each store sponsors three foster families in Africa) enhances the retailer’s integral role in our community.

One small step into Planet Organic, one giant leap for humankind-ness.
