The GreenMoxie Store

I started this as a zero-waste store about 4 years ago—just a simple refillery in my old shed for locals to get 100% natural soaps and cleaners for personal and home use. I had a booth at the Cobourg Farmer’s Market as well. Then the pandemic hit, many of the markets were temporarily shut down and, even when they reopened, many shoppers stayed away.

I decided to make the extra shed space available to my fellow market goers so they would have an income during the pandemic and that’s how the GreenMoxie store started!

Our store is now home to 27 makers, growers and farmers from Trent Hills. There is no charge for store space, so you know 100 % of the ticket price is going to the producer. It’s a wealth of interesting collections from the extremely talented people in our area. From farm fresh organic eggs to handmade bird houses, there’s always something new and there’s something for everyone!

This is truly a wonderful community collective that is run on an honesty system. Just come on in, pick what you want and write your purchases in the book. You can use the cash box or etransfer your payment.

The store is located on the corner of West and Nelson Streets in Warkworth with entrance on West Street and is open every day from 9-5. We hope to see you there soon!
