Dandelion Health Food Market

Welcome to Dandelion Health Food Market, the largest and most complete health food store in New Brunswick. Centrally located at 211 Champlain Street in Dieppe, Dandelion Health Food Market provides a unique approach to retail health food shopping with a great selection of goods and services offered to its customers. With the concept of one-stop shopping, it provides for every aspect of healthy living under one roof. There is a wide array of fresh and organic products and grocery items including meats, vegetables, vitamins, supplements, spices, teas, body care products, household cleaners, and international foods; healthy snacks and ready-to-go meals from their on-site kitchen; specialty products including artwork from local artisans; and the consulting services of certified Naturopath and Phytotherapist Charlotte Tanguay, who offers one-on-one personalized consultations.

With an emphasis on buying "local first," Dandelion Health Food Market obtains their farm-fresh meats and produce from local area farmers throughout southeastern New Brunswick. Their fresh, 100% organic beef comes from Salisbury; buffalo meat from Ste-Anne-de-Kent; and lamb legs, poultry and pork from other local suppliers. An excellent variety of fresh produce comes from the Cocagne region and a selection of cheeses and yogurt are local as well. A full kitchen on the premises creates healthy alternatives to fast food for busy patrons, with the potential for larger meals and a line of baby purees as part of future plans. At present, sumptuous muffins, squares, soups, and sandwiches are popular, and their vege-paté with sunflower seeds, carrots, flax seed, and whole wheat flour is a best-seller! With special attention given to sugar-free, yeast-free, and gluten-free products, Dandelion Health Food Market caters to customers with allergies and food intolerance.

Dandelion Health Food Market is owned and operated by business partners and cousins Phillipe Thériault and Joanne Losier, who saw an opening in the marketplace for this type of store. Riding the wave of growth in the Dieppe area, this store is the answer to increasing demands for healthy foods and products among a population more educated and sophisticated in their knowledge of the healthful benefits of good nutrition and products without harmful additives and preservatives. An accountant by profession, Phillipe Thériault brings to this enterprise a wide experience in the grocery industry. Joanne Losier was born into the business, her mother having run her own health food store in Tracadie, NB. Joanne has a bachelor’s degree in nutrition and is a Certified Natural Product Advisor. Enthusiastic about the potent qualities and curative effects of the humble dandelion plant as the most versatile plant in nature, Joanne and Phillipe chose the name "Dandelion" for their health food market, its bilingual bearing coming to play in the French version Dent-de-lion or lion’s tooth.
