Eat Local Sudbury

This is an awesome little grocery store in the heart of downtown Sudbury. It is within walking distance from the bus terminal if you don’t have a car. As the name suggests they sell local food.
I should mention that it is a co-​op. So you CAN buy a membership. You get to vote on the board members and get a discount when you shop. But you don’t HAVE to buy a membership.
So, the good stuff… Here are some of the items they sell:
cranberries (chocolate covered, dried, juice)
teas (tons of variety)
flour (spelt, pastry, oat)
Flakes and grains (oats, spelt, wheat, specialty and organic corn)
Canned goods (tomatoes)
Preserves (too many to list)
dairy products (cheese, icecream, milk)
duck eggs
meat (bison, pork, fish)
produce (in season fruits and veggies)
maple syrup and honey products
wool
… you get the picture.
Obviously this is not a complete list. There is too much to list. but the point is, for local food in Northern Ontario, there is tons of stuff. It is a great place to start before heading to the supermarket or bulk store. In the summer time, when you can get tons of awesome produce you won’t even need the supermarket.
Reasons why I love this place so much:
1 — The staff is friendly and very knowledgable.
2 — They have a board up that shows where the items are from.
3 — They have a community board where I get good information of events happening in the area.
4 — It is a co-​op.
5 — they have good food.
6 — they have a weekly e-​flyer that has great information and recipes
7 –vLucky seven — Did I mention it is local!!!
It is a great place to have all year round when the farmers market is not operating and even when the farmers market is up and running, if you happen to miss it one weekend you can stop by the store during the week to pick up what you missed.
Oh, you should know… for all you people who don’t like to pay for parking downtown, the store pays for two spots behind the building so you can park there for free.
