About Edible Island Whole Foods
Edible Island continues to connect with our local farming and fishing community to ensure that our customers have ready access to organic, locally-grown and sustainably harvested foods whenever possible, and for as long as seasons permit. We prioritize buying locally, from our Comox Valley, while shopping the rest of British Columbia and Canada as availability allows.
We look forward to serving our customers for many years to come!
