About us

Highland Wholefoods is a workers co-operative situated in the city of Inverness.  Founded in 1989, we have a total of 11 worker/members. The company is wholly owned by its employees and is democratically run with a non-hierarchical structure. We supply vegetarian, vegan, organic, ethical and environmentally friendly food, drinks and household products to the Highlands, islands and north-east Scotland.

Why Are We Special?

At Highland Wholefoods, we’re more than just a supplier. We’re part of a movement for ethical, sustainable food systems.

• We supply only the most ethical wholefood products available.
• Our trading relationships are established with co-operative producers locally, nationally and globally.
• We support fair trade and organic principles. These are fundamental to our existence, not matters of convenience or trends.
• We have supported the anti-GM movement since its inception and continue to stand against genetically modified food.
• We were one of the first companies in this region to hold a Soil Association Organic Licence.
• We believe ethically minded consumers, when given the choice, can help change the world for the better.
• We believe good, healthy food should be available to all, and we work hard to deliver it even to the most remote communities.

Highland Wholefoods brings wholefoods to local communities with purpose, integrity and care.
