We are a workers' co-operative and ethics are at the heart of everything we do... from the loose goods which enable our customers to purchase plastic-free groceries, to our non-hierarchical structure. Our cosmetics are always environmentally friendly and are never tested on animals. Our fresh, organic fruit and vegetables are as local and seasonal as possible, and none of it is air freighted. Come to us to find:
Organic Fruits & Vegetables
We receive deliveries of fresh produce from Organic North twice a week, with an emphasis on seasonal availability. We also collect regularly from two local, organic farms: Fold House Farm in Pilling and Ward and Thompson in Preesall, and stock seasonal greens from Growing with Grace in Clapham.
Vegan Groceries
Daily freshly baked bread made with organic flour, Fairtrade teas and coffees, tinned foods, chilled & frozen goods, fruit juices, snacks, vitamins and natural remedies, bean to bar chocolate from The Fig Tree in Garstang and Lancashire rapeseed oil (refills available!) and much more.
Loose Wholefoods
Reduce waste and buy as much or as little as you want with our loose grains, pulses, nuts, nuts, pasta, seeds and mueslis, dried fruits and herbs and spices. You can either bring your own container to fill, use one of our recycled paper bags, or buy upcycled cotton bags made by the Lancaster Sewing Café.
Wines & Beers
We stock a wide selection of vegan ales, including local beers from Lancaster Brewery, and Samuel Smith’s beers from Tadcaster. We also have a range of organic, vegan wines.
Cleaning & BodyCare
Environmentally friendly cleaning products. Plus a range of soaps & bodycare products. Many of these, from shampoo to multi surface cleaner, are refillable. Simply bring your own bottle and top it up at our self-serve refill station to reduce plastic and save money. We also have a range of essential oils and incense. None of our products are tested on animals.
Gifts & Cards
We sell a variety of gifts, including local art, soy wax candles from The Yorkshire Candle Company, Satya incense, badges, and a range of unique cards and postcards.
Books
A small range of vegan recipe books, left-wing literature and local authors.
On-line shop
We now have an on-line shop for click and collect. There are a small number of delivery slots for those who cannot come to the shop and have an LA1 postcode (or live at the University) .
