Home Grown Organic Foods is a locally owned business dedicated towards
satisfying the growing demand for healthy, locally grown,
affordable and ecologically sustainable organic food. We offer an efficient and
cost-effective home delivery service of fresh organic fruits and vegetables
every week.
Presently, there is increasing concern towards the possible health implications
associated with the use of chemical pesticides, herbicides and fungicides. Home
Grown Organic Foods has recognized the value of organically grown fruits and
vegetables and is dedicated towards providing health conscious consumers with a
sustainable alternative to conglomerate, profit-driven supermarkets.
The business is presently situated in Halifax at 6186 Allan St. where the Home
Grown General Store is located. Here, customers can learn about what is going
on within the organic community while topping up their food baskets over a cup
of hot coffee. There is also a demonstration organic garden on-site along with
a community composter that is altogether used to highlight the simplicity of
growing organically.
Home Grown Organic Foods differs from most agrifood businesses in that every
decision is weighted more heavily by environmental and social implications than
by profit incentives. Our mission is to provide the children of this world with
safe, healthy, affordable and wholesome food.
One advantage that Home Grown Organic Foods has over conventional food
distribution outlets is that relatively little warehouse space is required to
store the fresh produce before it is delivered. This is accomplished by
delivering the food straight from the field directly to the consumer, fresh as
can be. Furthermore, our business does not require costly retail space,
multiple layers of management, or any other inefficiency.
Ultimately, it is our passion to make every effort possible to educate the
public how to grow their own food. Meaningful, real world learning experiences
provide for an infinite array of possible opportunities. Home Grown Organic
Foods recognizes that health conscious consumers are naturally more in tune
with the seasonal variability of available fruits and vegetables within their
local bio-region. Home Grown Organic Foods also recognizes the joy of both farming
and cooking and thereby aspires to share this enthusiasm with all.
Home Grown Organic Foods is dedicated towards promoting environmental awareness
in addition to healthy living alternatives.
Choose local, organic food.
Good for you. Good for community.
Good for the Earth.
