Tara Natural Foods

I have been going to Tara's since they opened! I remember the tiny store my best friend and I would buy dried fruits for our school lunch. When the other kids were eating french fries and cola; Tom and I were in the park eating figs and dates from Tara's Foods. Lovely. Through the years Rudi has been a generous helper when i was involved in community groups for men's healing groups, and other support groups events in the city. For myself - i have always been able to count on Tara to have affordable items of food and skin care; for someone who has a lot of allergies and worked in health care this is really important. In the times now of online shopping - I am grateful that I can phone and go to Tara's and find what i need, and it is also less expensive than the company online prices!!! I love that Tara's is still part of downtown with amazing staff that are willing to take the time to help with questions and order things if they don't have it in stock. I hope that people will continue to support this wonderful place and it's lovely staff.

This place is pretty great, the selection of things are good, option for bulk products, vitamins/supplements. Bit too expensive for me but I'd recommend if you're doing well financially.

Great little natural food store with a wonderful selection of bulk, fresh and frozen foods. My only frustration was that they didn't have any unsweetened coconut chips. Loved the local produce displayed outside the store; purchased some candy-sweet blueberries that I can't wait to devour.

This was a neat little shop until it was time to pay. They swiped my card then got mad at me for how I paid. If they don't accept a payment they should say so rather than chastise me. There are other locations around the area that may be a better fit to visit.

If I ever left Kingston, Tara would be my most missed thing about it. Visiting Tara is a mini-adventure. They have a huge selection of healthy foods and not-so-healthy but delicious treats for eery diet and budget. They also have a very comprehensive natural supplement section and some natural beauty and home care. The staff are always friendly and helpful. They are also really great about you bringing your own containers and bags as to not contribute further to waste (unlike Bulk Barn). A great local business!
