Community Natural Foods specializes in organic foods, natural nutritional supplements and sustainable lifestyle products through our three retail locations across Calgary, Alberta. At Community Natural Foods, one of our core values is Respect for the Earth, and so we prioritize environmental sustainability in our business choices.
We’re Calgary’s first grocer to go single-use plastic bag free & Calgary’s first retail store to go single-use plastic water bottle free. Instead of plastic bags we encourage our customers to bring reusable bags and reward them through our Change for the Earth program with a two cent incentive per reusable bag used. Instead of plastic water bottles we offer a number of alternative options from home filtration to stainless steel water bottles that include a filtration system.
BYOC Program
Since our business started in 1977, we have offered a Bring Your Own Container (BYOC) program. You can bring your own clean container to fill up with any of our bulk products instead of using a plastic bag.
You can also bring your own clean container to our hot bar and fill up on any hot food or salad bar item, with some exceptions.
IMPORTANT: our hot bar hours differ from our store hours, please see our website for more information.
