Foodsmiths, in Perth, Ontario, is one of Canada’s leading natural food stores and the largest of its type in Eastern Canada. From its inception in 1976, Foodsmiths has steadily expanded to provide a complete shopping experience that includes a full range of fresh produce, natural and specialty grocery products, deli and bakery items, nutritional supplements, and natural beauty care. Our philosophy is to promote and make available choices that support an informed and healthy lifestyle while providing support through our various charitable programs to those in greater need.
Foodsmiths is a destination for local products and the highest quality produce in the region. We have always placed a high priority on dealing as locally as possible and appreciate that consumers understand the importance of shopping close to home. As a small business we can better partner with our local small business suppliers without placing unreasonable demands and pressures on them as can often occur when dealing with large conglomerates. We want local producers to succeed, so we will do all that we can to accomplish this and will offer advice on marketing and business practices. We want our relationship to be mutually beneficial. We are a supporter of many small Ontario producers and local suppliers in general. This includes a wide variety of products that we define as local, such as; fresh produce (in season), honey, maple syrup, locally made chocolates, gluten-free products, locally roasted coffee, brown wrapped meat, books, magazines, candles, plus much more. We use a 100 mile radius as our definition of Local following in the footsteps of the landmark book entitled “The 100 Mile Diet”. Many large grocery stores define Local as being produced within their respective province.
The store implements some of the best ideas of the grocery industry, yet maintains true customer service, which has earned Foodsmiths highlighted recognition from several different organizations. Foodsmiths has been a local and organic choice since 1976. Enjoy an online tour of our store and shop our website at www.foodsmiths.com. Or better yet, come and visit us in beautiful historic Perth!
