ABOUT US


The Beginning
COS – Cheltenham Organic Store has been established for over 20 years.  It is one of the oldest and most respected organic stores in Australia.  It was set up in a factory in the Melbourne bayside suburb of Cheltenham by the Wade Family due to personal health problems.  At that time they had difficulty sourcing organic produce for themselves and so decided to approach farmers and on-sell to others who also needed to avoid chemicals in their diet.  

About us
When the Wade family decided to sell they offered their business to the current owners who had run an organic shop and home delivery service on the Mornington Peninsula for 12 years, as well as working at the organic wholesale market.   The current owners invited their family to also become involved.
 
The Store
COS continues to be a family run business which is jam packed with organic produce.  COS believes that being “green”, that is organic, doesn’t mean a compromise on quality or freshness.  In fact, market days are Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays, so the fruit and vegetables are always fresh and vibrant. But more importantly, COS believes that organic fruit and vegetables should be affordable.
The store has lead the way in holistic health in that it includes a Natural Therapies Clinic with herbal dispensary and rooms for massage and other modalities.  People come from all over Melbourne because of its extensive range of products and health knowledge.

 As part of the team, there is a Naturopath, a Remedial Massage Therapist and an Ayurvedic Practitioner on site.  Along with knowledgeable and friendly staff, these practitioners contribute greatly to the ongoing success of COS.
