about us
WHY BECOME A MEMBER OF LOCAL ORGANICS?
By becoming a member, you help bring the overall cost of the shares down. The more members, the more bulk certified organic produce we can purchase for each share! As we continue to grow, we look forward to bringing our members additional healthy grocery items. (ie: Breads, dairy, eggs, whole grains, meats etc.)
WHAT IS A SHARE?
A share is a tote comprised of fresh produce attained from local farmers whenever possible and will always be 100% Certified Organic.
A half share should feed approximately 1-2 people and a full share 2-4 people for a week.
ADD ON’S & SWAP OUT’S (Only available in Seaforth)
We will have extra's that you can add to your shares at pick up on Wednesday. If you feel that the large share is not enough, think about adding a half share to your order as well. We welcome any feedback on the size and contents of the shares.
There will be an option of 2 swap out’s per share, run by a point system at the time of pick-up. Please note: in our order to keep our costs low for all members, there is a maximum of 2 swap outs per share. Thanks for your understanding.
