Beanies Wholefoods Co-op - Home

Beanies is a 100% vegetarian shop. All the products you find in Beanies are vegetarian and many are vegan. Everyone who works at Beanies is vegetarian or vegan.

Beanies holds organic certification from the Soil Association. We are regularly inspected by them, and we continue to maintain the high standards that are expected from us. This means that it can be guaranteed that when you buy organic produce from us it has met the Soil Associations requirements and is a quality organic product.  Our organic status means that we will not sell anything that we know to contain genetically modified organisms (GMO's).

We have our own organic bakery. The bakers at the Cat Lane Bakery are members of the Beanies Co-op, supplying us and other businesses in Sheffield with specialist organic bread of the highest quality.

We stock a wide variety of exciting speciality foods that you won’t find anywhere else in Sheffield!

Beanies is a Workers Co-op. This means that we are all involved equally in the running of the business, and we all hold equal responsibility. The shop is our livelihood – and we all care passionately that the business is run ethically and efficiently.

• We are very conscious of all the environmental issues surrounding packaging and waste products.
• We try to recycle everything we can.
• The boxes for our organic delivery scheme are re-used many times.
• We have recently reduced the use of plastic carriers in the shop and offer re-usable cloth bags at a good price.
• Any wastage from the vegetable shop is taken to Heeley City Farm and turned into compost.
• We also work with local charities who are able to make use of produce and stock that is past it's best.

We sell many alternative food products for people with dairy, gluten and wheat intolerances as well as other specialist diets.

Sheffield’s first, longest running, best quality and best value organic delivery scheme is run by Beanies.
