Organic City
Directory for the Greater Toronto Area
Compiled by Toronto Chapter Introduction
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.
We at Canadian Organic Growers – Greater Toronto Area Chapter hope you will find this directory helpful and beneficial.
If you have a listing for this directory, please email us at [email protected].
While we try to keep the directory as current as possible, we suggest you phone in advance before going to an unfamiliar vendor. Also, please let us 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.
We thank you for buying Organic.
Look for it! 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.
