“Hey Doc! Where do you source your meat & vegetables?” Well, right here in London! 
One of the main principles of naturopathic medicine is “doctor as teacher”, and part of our mandate as your Village Naturopaths is to promote individual and community health. Our responsibility as NDs is to help our patients implement healthy lifestyle changes. Part of this “teaching” comes in the form of providing people with links and resources to local foods, cosmetics and confections that will make their transition to healthier living more seamless and delicious!
Here is a guide to some of our favourite health promoting establishments (farms, restaurants, confections, cosmetics) in the London, ON area.
They are on our favourites list because they are local and/or ethical, creative, organic, delicious and CONSCIOUS about how their business relates to personal and planetary health. We hope you enjoy exploring what London has to offer – which is quite a bit for such a ‘small town’. Enjoy your homework!
