Health food store in Halifax

Luminate Co Wellness Market is a locally owned health food store and grocery with two stores in the Halifax region of Nova Scotia, open seven days a week. We opened in Bedford in 2019 as a grocery store with a conscience, and we still pick everything on the shelves for what's in it.

The always-organic produce wall at Luminate Co
Clean groceries

Real food, and produce that's always organic

Fruit, vegetables, herbs and mushrooms that are always organic, local when they're in season. The rest of the weekly shop is here too: pantry staples, snacks, bread, eggs and dairy, plant-based alternatives, frozen meals and baking supplies, with plenty of gluten-free, vegan and dairy-free options.

We pick everything for its ingredients, and we carry products from more than 100 Atlantic Canadian makers. You don't need to eat any particular way to shop here.

The supplement aisle at Luminate Co

Natural supplements of every kind: vitamins, minerals, probiotics, omega-3s, collagen, protein powders, electrolytes, herbal products and practitioner lines from brands like CanPrev, Naka, AOR and Natural Factors.

Bring the name your naturopath or doctor wrote down, or just your question, and we'll help you compare labels. Look for the eight-digit NPN, which means Health Canada has licensed the product.

How it works

The Luminate Co clinic reception in Bedford
The clinic

A wellness clinic in the same building

Our Bedford store shares its building with the Luminate Co clinic, which has its own entrance: naturopathic medicine, physiotherapy, pelvic health physiotherapy, registered massage therapy, chiropractic, acupuncture, osteopathy, lactation consulting, somatic therapy, reiki and manual lymphatic drainage. Most services are billed directly to your insurer; for lactation consulting, we give you a receipt to submit to your insurer. A Dartmouth clinic is opening in summer 2027.

Shipping details

Questions we get a lot

Is there a Luminate health food store on the Halifax peninsula?

Not at the moment. Our stores are in Bedford and Dartmouth, both an easy drive from downtown, and Luminate Express delivers same-day to the peninsula.

What is a health food store?

A store built around food and products chosen for their ingredients: organic produce and groceries, natural health supplements, clean personal care products and eco-friendly home care. At Luminate Co you can do a full grocery shop and pick up your vitamins in the same trip.

Are you a health food store, a supplement store or a grocery store?

All three. Plenty of people come in for vitamins and leave with dinner, or the other way around.

Is everything organic?

Our produce is always organic, and so are our bulk foods. Across the rest of the store we choose products for their ingredients; many are certified organic, but not all, so check the label if that matters to you.

Can someone help me choose a supplement?

Yes. Ask anyone in the supplement aisle and we'll help you compare products and labels. For advice about symptoms, medications or doses, your doctor, pharmacist or naturopathic doctor is the right call.

Are both stores open on weekends?

Yes. Both are open 9 am to 6 pm on Saturdays and Sundays, and 8:30 am to 8:30 pm on weekdays.

Do I need special containers for bulk?

No. Bring any clean jar, container or bag, weigh it before you fill it, and we subtract the weight at checkout.

Where can I buy high quality supplements in Halifax?

Luminate Co carries Atlantic Canada's largest selection of natural health supplements at our Bedford and Dartmouth stores, from trusted retail brands to practitioner lines. Look for the eight-digit NPN on the label, which means Health Canada has licensed the product, and ask our team on the floor if you'd like help comparing.
