Where To Shop – Organic…
Canadian Organic Growers (COG) was started 30 years ago to promote cleaner produce, environmentally friendly farming/gardening practices and healthier living. Since that time the demand for organic food has grown rapidly making it widely available in specialty shops, supermarkets, farmers market, restaurants, meal delivery and catering services.
Conventionally grown produce has a 4 digit PLU (Product Look Up) code on those small round labels you find on each piece of produce. Organically grown produce has a 5 digit PLU code prefaced by a 9, and genetically modified produce has a 5 digit PLU code prefaced by an 8.
The COG keeps the directory as current as possible, they suggest you phone in advance before going to an unfamiliar vendor. Also, please let them know if any of these listings should be deleted either because they are no longer in business or have moved away from an organic mandate. If you have a listing for this directory, please email us at torontochapter@cog.ca.
Thank you for buying Organic.
