About
Sage Bulk Wholefoods is a zero-plastic, organic bulk-foods store in Eltham, in Melbourne's north-east, with a sister shop in Ivanhoe. The idea is package-free shopping: you fill your own containers from the bulk bins and pay by weight, cutting out single-use packaging while buying organic.
The range covers cereals, grains, pulses and beans, dried fruit and nuts, honey and chocolate, flours, herbs, spices and teas, plus raw treats. They make their nut butters fresh in store, and there are household and personal-care refills too. It's a dry-goods wholefoods grocer rather than a butcher — it doesn't stock meat or dairy — but it's a handy stop for organic pantry staples and honey.
