Always Organic Bulk Foods
Bulk & refill

Always Organic Bulk Foods

Nova Scotia's largest all-organic bulk food station with over 150 certified organic items for zero-waste shopping.

Bring your own container, fill only what you need, and pay by weight. Our refillery holds over 150 certified organic items — grains, flours, legumes, nuts, seeds, dried fruit, spices, coffee, and pantry staples — all of it organic, all of it package-free. Our Dartmouth store has the largest all-organic bulk station in Atlantic Canada, and Bedford has the original. Either way it's the simplest way we know to cut waste out of a weekly shop.

  • All organic, no exceptions

    Every bin in the bulk section is certified organic — grains, flours, legumes, nuts, seeds, dried fruit, herbs and spices. You never have to read the label twice.

  • Fill what you need

    A tablespoon of cardamom or a kilo of oats. Bring your own jar, use one of ours, and pay by weight — nothing goes stale in the back of a cupboard.

  • Two stations, one bigger

    Dartmouth holds the largest all-organic bulk station in Atlantic Canada. Bedford has the original, smaller and just as well stocked on the essentials.

Good to know

Can I bring my own containers?

Yes, please do. Bring any clean jar or bag, weigh it empty at the scale before you fill it, and you pay only for what goes in. If you forget, we have paper bags and jars at the station.

What is in the bulk section?

More than 150 certified organic items: oats, rice, flours, pasta, lentils and beans, nuts, seeds, dried fruit, granola, snacks, herbs and spices, coffee and loose tea, plus a refillery for soap, shampoo, laundry and cleaning liquids.

Is everything really organic?

Yes. The whole bulk section is certified organic, which is unusual — most stores mix organic and conventional bins. Here you do not have to check.

Which store has the bigger selection?

Dartmouth. It is the largest all-organic bulk station in Atlantic Canada, with the refillery alongside. Bedford is the original station and carries the everyday staples.

Can I order bulk online?

Some bulk items are listed online in set weights for delivery and pickup. For the full range — and to fill your own containers — come to the store.
