Our Commitment to Organic

We believe in organic agriculture, and we think a world with more organically grown food is better for us 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, sits on the board of directors for the Pacific Agricultural Society, PACS and is a PACS representative on the board of The Certified Organic Associations of BC (COABC).

Discovery’s warehouse is a PACS Certified Organic facility, which means we only handle Certified Organics and produce in transition to organic - no conventional produce.

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

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.
