about us
Hi there!
We’re Micheal & Whitney Hall with The Main Ingredient, and we’re honoured to continue the legacy that Ken and Deb built over the past 44 years.
Who are we?
We’re a local family who loves food, community, and simple living. When the opportunity came to step into this beloved Peterborough staple, we knew it was something special. We believe in the same things that made this store what it is: sustainability, affordability, and keeping things local. Whether you’re refilling your pantry with everyday essentials or discovering something new in our aisles, we’re here to help you shop with purpose...and maybe even a little joy.
What's the shop about?
We’re passionate about offering high-quality bulk foods, supporting other local makers, and making your shopping experience as warm and welcoming as possible. You might even meet our kids around the store - they’re already falling in love with greeting customers and stacking jars!
​
We’re so thankful for the amazing staff who continue to bring heart to this store every day, and for customers like you who keep it all going. Whether you’ve been shopping here since the beginning or just stumbled in for the first time, WELCOME.
​
We’re glad you’re here!
