West End is now home to several organic shopping destinations as the demand for healthier food options and organic products increase.
The number of people consciously eating healthier meals is on the rise. In fact, according to the Australian Institute of Personal Trainers, 10% more Australians are opting to get their protein requirements from dairy and plants rather than meat in their quest to adopt healthy eating habits. Processed food is also becoming unpopular as more consumers prefer buying fresh and locally sourced organic products.
If you are still transitioning to a healthier diet, or already eating healthy, here are some of the great spots where you can get organic food and produce in West End.
