East End Food Co-op is Vancouver’s consumer-owned grocery store and is collectively owned by thousands of local residents. Our focus is on organic, fair trade, local and zero waste products. We offer a wide selection of organic, non-GMO, unprocessed, and natural foods. We also offer a range of conventional products in order to provide staple foods at prices that are as accessible as possible.
We support local producers and farmers and we work hard to offer as many local products as possible. We understand that buying locally strengthens our local food system and our community. We also have a bulk food section, so remember to bring your own containers!
