Those who prefer to buy organic will be happy to know there are several excellent grocery store options in Markham. You can shop online and, in most cases, arrange for items either to be picked up or conveniently delivered right to your home. Here is a list of our favourite local spots to find organic groceries.
T&T Supermarket
Just up the road from Mill House is T&T Supermarket, located at Woodbine and 16th Avenue in the Cachet Centre. You’ll find a wide selection of products at this popular Asian grocery store, including many high quality organic items. Shoppers especially love the store’s fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, and seafood. You can order your full grocery list online and arrange to have everything delivered, but please be aware that due to high demand there is currently a 1-2 week wait for some orders.
