Our Sourcing Policy
Our hearts belong to the small scale growers, family farms and agricultural co-ops. We have visited dozens of farms across B.C., working with growers to see them move to larger and more financially sustainable operations.
We feel encouraged by the impressive increase in consumer demand for certified organic fruit and vegetables. We also acknowledge that we can’t grow our own food year-round. Even more so now, as our climate changes, no harvest is a safe bet.
Over the years, we have extended our relationships with small scale farmers to include farms down the Pacific Coast, through Washington, Oregon and California, then on to Mexico and South America. Together, this network of growers keep us all fed, year round, and for this we are grateful.
Featured Farmers
We are just as committed to the success of our growers as we are committed to the success of our customers.
We’ve helped farmers develop cooperative shipping docks, uniform packaging, proper seed selection, crop contracts, marketing plans and more. We work hard to build trust with our grower partners and we treat the products of their hard work with respect and utmost appreciation. Because we make long term commitments with them we have the privilege of being able to share their stories, and we hope that you will look through the index below to learn more about these excellent people and their farms.
