In our gourmet food store you will find a large selection of natural, organic and sustainable foods locally produced using farm fresh ingredients from around the province.

There are many reasons to buy food locally. You’ve heard them all before: decrease your carbon footprint; support local economies; fresh food tastes better. We’d like to add one more to the list.

It is our experience that a meal is more enjoyable when you know and trust your food sources. There is no better meal than the one where you can name all the hands that have touched your food on its journey from field to your fork, a meal where you know the love and care that went into preparing that food. This, is the Culinarium™ experience.

Share Programs:

These programs create a sustainable cash flow for your choice farm and offer you a more direct relationship with the folks that grown and procure your food.
