Our Commitment to Organic

We believe in organic agriculture, and we think a world with more organically grown food is better for us, for the soil and for the planet.

So, as well as offering an ever-changing selection of seasonally awesome organic fruit and vegetables, we commit our time to the good fight.

Annie Moss, founder and owner of Discovery Organics, represents The Certified Organic Associations of BC (COABC) at the BC Agri-Foods Trade Avdisory Council.

Discovery’s warehouse is a PACS Certified Organic facility, which means we only handle Certified Organic produce.

Stefan Misse, our  Pacific Northwest buyer, is an organic farmer himself along with fellow and former Discovery staff Melissa McCready, Tera Vickers and Mike Robson. They collectively own a small orchard in the Kootenays and are currently growing garlic together amongst other things.

Randy Hooper, Discovery’s Managing Director and our buyer who travels to meet farmers from Mexico to Chile, farmed organically for 18 years both on Salt Spring Island and in the Fraser Valley. He gains great pleasure from meeting new farmers and passing on any knowledge he thinks might be helpful. Some day, he hopes to return to farming.
