Edible Island Whole Foods Market

(replacing former 5 star review) unfortunately this place is really located downhill under new ownership. they did a flush on what was sold regularly and was released by many interesting product lines. there are a few more things that are not close to, but now all the few weeks instead of a few times a week visit. Too bad.

Staff are friendly, product selection is fantastic, and they are great supporters of local farms!

Edible Island is a long established grocery store and has a pretty good productline for it's size. Staff are very friendly and helpful if you have questions.Good organic produce selection and generally very fresh. Bread inventory goes quickly so shortage of specific products can be a problem. I shop there regularly.

After finding about it here on Happy Cow, I made Edible Island one of my first stops when I visited Courtenay. Tucked one street back the main downtown business strip, this store is surprisingly large for a small town, independent natural foods place. It offers a wide selection of organic natural food staples as well as health and hygiene products. The staff and overall vibe is friendly and down to earth. I'll definitely stop in again whenever I visit the area!

(Replacing former 5 star review) Unfortunately, this place is really downhill under new ownership. They did a sink on what was sold regularly and was started by many interesting product lines. There are still a few things that are not available in thirty years, but now visit every few weeks instead of a few times a week. Too bad.
