Santos Organics

santosSantos Organics is a vibrant organic health food supermarket dedicated to providing the community with the highest quality fresh local produce, grocery items and personal care/home products. Alongside the shop is an organic juice bar that serves freshly made lunches, raw treats and fresh juices.

Santos has been in business since the early 70s. From humble beginnings in the back of a van in Main Arm, Santos has grown to become one of the Shire’s most loved community businesses, with stores in Byron, Mullum and a fast-growing online space.

The folks at Santos really care about offering the community the highest quality products. They have an ethics team who researches all products to ensure that there are no nasty ingredients, such as GMOs. Santos supports and sponsors many events and organisations in Byron and beyond. People love that all the profit is distributed within the community.

“We love the rich and culturally diverse range of people that we get to see come through our doors each day. We love the conversations with our customers and the street musicians who regularly busk outside our doors. Our first store opened in Mullum in 1979 and we are ever grateful to be part of this rich and vibrant community and all that it has to offer.“
