    This is by far my favourite health food store ever! It’s basically a grocery store with better for you options and lots of organic items. …

    So happy to have a health food store in the Dartmouth area! The new store is so pretty inside and out, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that it carries a ton of products from local businesses like Birdies and Real Fake Meats. That will make my grocery shopping trips so much easier!

    Absolutely beautiful store! Checked it out during the grand opening and I’m very impressed. Lots of keto choices and fresh produce as well as a refill station for hand soaps and other cleaning supplies fairly priced. Staff were very helpful and friendly.

Inside the Dartmouth store

Our store on Portland Street

Clean groceries, clean personal care and beauty, eco-friendly home care, a full supplement aisle, an all-organic bulk station and a non-alcoholic section, all at 590 Portland Street. If you're after something specific, give us a call before you head over and we'll check.

The always-organic produce wall at Luminate Co
Clean groceries

Real food for the weekly shop

You can do your regular grocery shop here. Our produce is always organic, local when it's in season. The grocery aisles cover the everyday things, from pasta, rice and sauces to cereal, nut butters and lunch-bag snacks, along with eggs, dairy, plant-based alternatives and a freezer for the nights you don't feel like cooking.

We choose everything for its ingredients, so you don't have to read every label twice. Plenty of it is gluten-free, vegan or dairy-free, but you don't need to eat any particular way to shop here. We also carry products from more than 100 Atlantic Canadian makers, from Nova Scotia honey and maple to local coffee.

Clean personal care and beauty

The bathroom shelf, cleaned up

Skin care, hair care, deodorant, body care and the rest of the bathroom shelf from brands like Mad Hippie, Om Organics, Beauty From Bees and ATTITUDE, chosen for what's in the bottle.

There are plenty of fragrance-free options, and our team is happy to help you compare.

Shop personal careClean beauty

Eco-friendly home care

Cleaners without the harsh stuff

Dish soap, laundry detergent and household cleaners that do the job with gentler ingredients, many fragrance-free, plus refills for the bottles you already have and reusable swaps for the kitchen.

The supplement aisle at Luminate Co
Supplements

A supplement aisle, with staff who know it

Luminate carries Atlantic Canada's largest selection of natural health supplements, and the Dartmouth aisle has room for a lot of it: vitamin D, magnesium, omega-3s, probiotics, collagen, protein powders, electrolytes and multivitamins, from brands like CanPrev, Naka, AOR and Natural Factors.

The shelf is only half of it. Our team is happy to walk you through the difference between two magnesiums, or capsules versus powder. If your naturopath or doctor gave you a name and a dose on a sticky note, bring it in and we'll help you find it. Look for the eight-digit NPN on the label: it's the product's licence number.

Organic bulk bins at Luminate Co
Organic bulk foods

An all-organic bulk station

Bulk is where Luminate started, and every food in the bins is organic. Bring your own jar or bag, weigh it empty, and fill as much or as little as you need: oats, lentils, nuts, seeds, dried fruit, herbs and spices, coffee and tea. There are refills for dish soap, laundry and body care too.

It's the easiest way to buy a spoonful of something for one recipe, and the easiest way to cut down on packaging.

How bulk worksGuide to shopping bulk

Non-alcoholic drinks

A whole section for not drinking

Our non-alcoholic section has non-alcoholic beer, wine alternatives, spirits and ready-to-drink mocktails, alongside kombucha, sparkling drinks, coffee and tea. Handy for Dry January, a designated driver, or a Tuesday.

The clinic

The clinic is in Bedford, for now

Our clinic is at our Bedford store, 486 Starboard Drive, with its own entrance: naturopathic doctors, physiotherapists, registered massage therapists, chiropractic, acupuncture, osteopathy and lactation consulting. Most services are billed directly to your insurer; for lactation consulting, we give you a receipt to submit to your insurer. Book online, or call Bedford at (902) 835-9319 and we'll sort it out.

A Dartmouth clinic is opening in summer 2027.

Questions we get a lot

Are you a health food store or a grocery store?

Both. Plenty of people come in for their supplements and leave with dinner, or the other way around.

Can someone help me choose a supplement?

Yes. Ask anyone on the floor and we'll help you compare products and labels. For questions about your own health, medications or doses, your doctor, pharmacist or naturopathic doctor is the right call.

Is there a clinic in Dartmouth?

Not yet. The clinic is at our Bedford store, and a Dartmouth clinic is opening in summer 2027.

Looking for one particular product?

Call us at (782) 358-2374 before you make a special trip, and we'll check the shelf.

Is all the bulk organic?

The bulk foods are, yes. Bring your own containers and weigh them empty before you fill them.
