Membership has it's privileges! Karma Co-op is a non-profit, member-owned and operated co-operative store - members contribute 2 hours of work per month and this keeps costs close to wholesale prices. It's tucked away in a precious spot in the Annex and the people who work there and shop there are by nature very pleasant. It is definitely the food shop in Toronto with the largest commitment to carrying as many local and organic products as possible, and the result is daily farmer's market crossed with an eco-shopper and eaters heaven!

Shop local in the Annex

I've been a Karma member for years, since I lived around the corner and it was actually my closest grocery store. It's a small shop but it's amazing what they can fit in there. They have relationships with a lot of local farmers and producers, meaning tons of local options, some of which are only available at Karma as they're produced on such a small scale. Everything in the produce section is labelled, in fact, not just with country and organic vs. conventional, but in as much detail as the name of the farmer and whether it's certified organic, non-certified organic, single spray or conventional. Some of my favourite healthy options include frozen local organic cherries (where else can you get those?), the wide range of bulk foods (including tons of whole grains, flours, nuts, etc.), amazing local organic eggs (you can even buy eggs in bulk if you don't want a whole dozen or want to cut back on packaging), and even local organic popcorn. Drop by and check it out - you can do a trial shop as a non-member - or contact the store and sign up for a new member orientation.

You need to be a member of the co-op to shop here, but if you want to just give it a try, you can shop once for free. karma's been around for more than 30 years, and carries a large selection of local and organic produce, organic bulk foods, organic meats and breads, and environmentally friendly household products. very cool. find out more about membership, the co-op, or read their newsletter here: http://www.karmacoop.org/index.html
