Where: Vancouver, BC Canada
Website: http://www.discoveryorganics.ca
Mission per company’s website: “We passionately
work to promote Certified Organic and Fair Trade by building relationships with
small scale farmers here at home, as well as abroad.”
Final Thoughts: We met with Miranda
and Andy. Andy is founder of this local food distributor company. The idea was after this small farmer decided
to go organic on all the food is currently grown and due to the misleading
advertisement of “organic.” The company works with transparency. The concepts
looked for in the company is fair trade and sustainable organics (which
includes paying decent salary to workers) The company buys products from
abroad, USA, and Canada because of the supply and demand. It compost and
donates food. They also deliver 24/7 and competition is pro-organics with
prices in the same range. Local commercial restaurants are the most attractive
costumers, but Choice’s Market is the biggest costumer. The company is focused
more on the social part of sustainability. 40 employees and they are also involved
in domestic fair trade.
