Local. Fresh. Organic.
We bring our island’s farmers, foragers and fishers straight to your table!
Cortes Natural Food Co-op is a community-owned cooperative business. We are passionate about bringing locally grown, organic, sustainably produced, healthy food to our community. With our Natural Food Market, Bakery, Deli & Espresso Bar, we bring the heart and soul of our island’s farmers, fishers, and foodies straight to your table!
The Cortes Natural Food Co-op is grateful to operate within the overlapping traditional territories of the ƛohos (Klahoose), ɬəʔamɛn (Tla’Amin) and χʷɛmaɬkʷu (Homalco) First Nations. The language spoken in these territories is ʔayʔaǰuθəm (ayajuthem), a northern dialect of the Coast Salish language group. Words and phrases in ʔayʔaǰuθəm can be learned using the language tool on firstvoices.com.
Food Market
Our store is stocked with the best in fresh local, organic food including fresh + frozen meat and seafood, dairy + dairy alternatives, seasonal produce, bulk nuts, grains, legumes + soap, coffee + tea, spices, snacks, household staples, wellness products, supplements, and whatever else you’re hankering for. Members enjoy monthly discounts on select products in the store.
Bakery
We bake fresh every day! Our bakery features 100% organic daily breads, bagels, all-butter croissants, cinnamon buns, tea cakes, scones, brownies, and cookies. Our bakers create everything (including croissants!) from scratch, with premium quality all-natural & organic ingredients.
Deli & Self Serve
Come get a hot coffee or bowl of soup, and shop all of the breads, baked goods, sandwiches, wraps, prepared foods, meats, and cheeses. If you need assistance, just ring the bell and someone from the kitchen can help you. Many of the items for sale in our deli are made in-house – quiche, granola, hummus, macaroni and cheese, and soup. We also bring in meats and cheeses from places like Oyama Sausage from Granville Island, Farmhouse Natural Cheeses from Agassiz, and Haltwhistle Cheeses from Duncan, and Kombucha from Vancouver Island.
Espresso Bar
When the espresso bar is open, you can get an espresso drink or a hot item to go – like a slice of pizza, a grilled cheese sandwich, or a spanakopita. Instead of waiting in line, take a ticket, then feel free to browse what we offer until we call your number.
