Vancouver, BC V5N 2R8
(604) 872-3019
Category:
Grocery
Neighbourhood: Kensington-Cedar Cottage
Market with a very nice selection of bulk items, including many organic items. Really the closest thing to a Trader Joe's in Vancouver. Everytime I visit I find something new. It is a great place to find that difficult to find spice for a new…More »

* Nice natural setting, with easy to pick organic blueberries *
It is that time of year - time to wander out of the city and pretend for a day we are not city dwellers.
This little organic blueberry farm was the perfect location for a few hours in…More »
3. Forstbauer Family Natural Food Farm
* Top u-pick! *
We've been on a U-pick kick this summer, trying to explore the various organic options available.
This farm is now at the top of our list for U-pick!
Here's why:
- Really feels like a family farm. A couple and their little girls were…More »

Vancouver, BC V6H 3S3
Categories:
Fruits & Veggies,
Farmers Market
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
* Please don't squeeze! *
I know, I know. Granville Island is a tourist destination. But for a spot that is so popular with tourists, it still has plenty to offer locals as well.
Today when wandering through the market I stumbled onto a vendor I…More »
5. European Breads Bakery
Vancouver, BC V5V 4G3
(604) 879-5177
This bakery was opened by Otari Kobalia in 2001 to bring the flavours of Georgia (the one in Europe, not the U.S.) to Vancouver. Otari apparently comes from a long line of Georgian bakers, and it shows in the quality of the artisan breads they offer…More »
6. Motomachi Shokudo
* Organic ramen?!?!?!! Cool! *
I like the focus on slightly healthier and more organic when possible that they offer here. It is a unique position in the ramen game!
The broth was rich and flavourful, the noodles perfectly cooked, a generous amount…More »

Categories:
Do-It-Yourself Food,

* Private picking *
One of the summer highlights for me is berry picking. We decided to try a new spot today for strawberry picking. We wanted to try an organic farm instead of the heavily sprayed ones which are a bit larger and more commercial.

9. Romania Country Bread
* The benefits of specializing! *
You can't miss this place that has large wooden lettering outside. Inside he has built a bakery that really feels almost like an artisan bakery exhibit at a historic theme park.
The owner built a massive wood fired…More »
10. Hui's Organic Mushrooms
* Pssst, kid, ya want some shrooms? *
Found these guys at the West End Farmer's Market today.
They market themselves by saying, "Get your mushroom fix." Hm.....Makes you wonder what kind of shrooms they are selling. But it isn't those kind of…More »

12. Bronco Belle
Vancouver, BC V6B 4N4
(604) 696-6088
* Toto, we ain't in Texas anymore! *
Ok, I have to admit I have been craving Texas BBQ lately. So I was drawn in entirely by the sign that read "Texas BBQ Foods." Woo hoo - smoked brisket here I come.
Not.
Wouldn't all ya'll (that is the plural of…More »

I feel the need to update this. The quality of the produce, and the accuracy of the deliveries has suffered for a month or two. I'm not sure what is going on, but things aren't like they used to be sadly. I do hope they iron out the bugs and get…More »

I had always thought there were 2 main organic food delivery services in Vancouver: Spud and… Read more »
14. Mainly Organics
Am I a moron? (Don't answer that quickly, please!)
The space for this store is about the size of a convenience store, but it is a little mini-organic market. They have all of the usual suspects you would find in the organic aisles of Choices,…More »
15. Blue Edge Cafe
Vancouver, BC V6G 3J7
(604) 687-5758
Neighbourhoods: Coal Harbour, Downtown
The official name of the cafe is the "Blue Edge Cafe" but their sign says "Blue Edge Organic Cafe." I find this amusing - particularly since when you wander in their chalk board menu says, "Not all of our menu items are organic. We apologize for…More »

Categories:

(604) 681-2551
Category:
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
* False marketing *
Bah. I'm downgrading this spot after I returned for lunch. I ordered the "prosciutto, mozzarella, and basil panini." I got what I can best describe as a toasted ham and cheese sandwich. It was definitely NOT prosciutto. It was…More »

18. European Breads Organic Crepe Cafe
Vancouver, BC V6Z
(604) 569-0708
* Stick to what you do well *
I really like the original location of European Breads (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) - their artisan Eastern European breads are very good. Now they have opened up this crepe cafe location with offerings like lahmahjun,…More »
19. Trees Organic Coffee
* Toto, we ain't in NY anymore! *
I stopped in to try out the NY Cheesecake. I miss NY Cheesecake from my childhood and figured I would give it a shot.
The cheesecake itself was ok, but not as dense as I remember from my childhood. It also didn't…More »

C) An online organic retailer
D) A kitchen equipment vendor
E) Trying to do all of the above
That is right. The answer is E. And I…More »
