The Organic Food Group distributes bulk organic produce to its members on a weekly basis. Our main distributors, PNR Farms (located here in Prince George!) and ProOrganics, guarantee the organic certification of the produce. Any non-organic items are listed as such for the member's awareness. The Organic Food Group operates on a pre-pay basis. The food bins are $20 and include approximately four types of fruits and six types of vegetables.

A sample box may consist of:
5 Apples
5 Pears
5 Oranges
5 Bananas
1 lb. carrots
¼ lb. mushrooms
Head of lettuce
2lb. Potatoes
4 Tomatoes
2 Green Peppers

    The Organic Food Group occasionally purchases additional food from local farms and distributors. These can consist of certified Fair Trade coffee, local honey, and fresh bread. We are open to ordering additional organic products (i.e. dairy, meat, etc.), providing that there is a volunteer who would like to organize it. Members may sign up for food bins by a weekly, bi-monthly or trial basis and may also order additional items at this time.

    Approximately twice a semester, the Organic Food Group will place a bulk order with Horizon Organic Food Distributors. These boxes are varied in price and include dry goods such as rice, beans, sugar, etc. Members may also place individual orders from the Horizon catalogue during this time.
