Took too long but otherwise it was great. The courier you use does not deliver on the weekends so it adds a minimum of 2 days, possibly 4 because of that.

Good to know
A few things worth knowing
Fridge & freezer
Fresh food, delivered cold
Milk, eggs, yogurt, tofu, smoothies and frozen food are all part of the online shop. Order by 11 am and Luminate Express packs them cold and delivers them that afternoon across most of HRM.
Shelf-stable groceries also ship anywhere in Canada. Fresh and frozen stay local.
Special diets
Gluten-free, vegan or keto
Feeding more than one diet shouldn't mean cooking three dinners. Every product page shows its diet tags, and these collections pull each one together.
Gluten-free: breads, pasta, crackers and baking mixes. Vegan products: plant-based milks, cheeses and meat alternatives. Keto: snacks, sweeteners and baking ingredients.
Bulk & refill
Bulk foods by the scoop
For oats, grains, legumes, flour, nuts and spices, the bulk station lets you buy exactly what a recipe needs. Every bin is certified organic, and Luminate Co is home to Atlantic Canada's largest all-organic bulk station.
Produce
Fresh produce, always organic
Every fruit and vegetable in our produce department is certified organic, and it comes from Nova Scotia farms whenever the season allows.
Under the same roof
More than a grocery store
The same stores carry Atlantic Canada's largest selection of supplements and vitamins, clean personal care products and eco-friendly household goods, with staff on the floor who know each department.

Questions
Questions we get a lot
Something we didn’t cover? Call Bedford at (902) 835-9319 or Dartmouth at (782) 358-2374, or ask us in chat.
What do you mean by natural?
Real ingredients you can picture. We don't stock foods with artificial colours or flavours, synthetic preservatives, high-fructose corn syrup or hydrogenated oils, and we choose organic wherever it's available.
Where can I buy organic groceries in Halifax?
At either Luminate Co store: 486 Starboard Drive in Bedford, just off Larry Uteck Boulevard, and 590 Portland Street in Dartmouth, at the corner of Baker Drive. Both are open seven days, with parking out front. You can also order online for pickup, or for same-day delivery across Halifax and most of HRM when you order by 11 am.
What are examples of natural foods?
Foods with short ingredient lists you would recognise: fresh produce, eggs, plain yogurt, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds, and packaged foods made from them without artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.
Do you carry gluten-free, vegan and keto foods?
Yes, hundreds of each. Every product page shows its diet tags (gluten-free, vegan, keto-friendly, plant-based), and the gluten-free, vegetarian & vegan and keto collections gather them in one place.
Can I get groceries delivered?
Yes. Order by 11 am and Luminate Express delivers that afternoon across most of Halifax, fresh and frozen grocery items included. Orders after 11 am arrive the next day. See delivery zones and fees. Shelf-stable groceries also ship anywhere in Canada, free over $80.
Is everything organic?
Not every grocery item is certified organic, but we choose organic wherever it exists. Our produce department and bulk foods are 100% certified organic.
How do I shop natural food on a budget?
Start at the bulk station for grains, legumes, nuts and spices, where you buy only the amount you need. Frozen organic fruit and vegetables are another good-value way to eat well, and our staff are happy to help you plan a shop.
