Karma Co-Op, 739 Palmerston at Barton, 416-534-1470
 
The Big Carrot has selection, and Whole Foods has style, but for total commitment to the ethics of buying and selling food, it’s hard to beat this non-profit, customer-owned and -operated market. Membership requires a one-time refundable initiation fee, a small annual fee and the option of two hours of labour a month to avoid a 10 per cent surcharge. Produce is the main calling card (dozens of locally grown items) while co-op members also have access to a freezer section, dairy, dry goods, cleaning supplies, personal hygiene stuff, an impressive selection of bulk goods.
