Our Sustainable Bag rename
Customers choosing to buy this bag can be assured that the produce has been grown using methods that encourage soil health, without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides.
Why have we renamed the bag? Not everything in the bag is Certified Organic so the bag name was not compliant with legislation. We use a combination of Certified Organic, spray-free and sustainably grown produce from our local farmers on the Saanich Peninsula.
Organic Certification provides credibility and assurance to consumers that the products are genuinely organic and have met strict organic standards. Sustainable farming refers to farms that may adhere to organic growing practices but choose not to go through the formal certification process to achieve official verification from certifying bodies.
This bag will continue to predominantly feature produce from local small-scale farms, including North Star Organics, The Plot Market Garden, Farm or Die, Peas & Carrots, Teto & more.
