Eat Organics

Why Choose Organic?

When you choose organic, you’re supporting farming that works with nature by caring for the land, protecting clean water, encouraging biodiversity, and avoiding synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. Organic vegetables, grains, and packaged foods are grown with soil health and long-term sustainability in mind, while organic meat, dairy, and eggs come from animals raised in natural conditions with high welfare standards. Each purchase helps build healthier ecosystems, ensure humane animal care, and invest in a sustainable future, creating ripples that lead to healthier soils, thriving wildlife, cleaner water, and stronger farming communities.

Is It Organic?

The easiest way to know if something is truly organic is to look for the Canada Organic Logo. This seal guarantees that the product meets Canada’s national organic standard, which is regulated by the federal government. Behind that logo is a system built on transparency and accountability. Every certified farm and processor undergoes an annual inspection by an independent third-party inspector who visits fields, barns, and storage areas, and reviews detailed records of every step in production. These inspections confirm that organic practices are being followed and that the organic integrity of the food is protected from seed to sale. When you see the logo, you can trust that what you’re buying was grown and raised according to the highest organic standards.

Choosing Organic Food

Organic Dairy

Organic dairy means milk from cows fed an all-organic diet, given pasture time when weather allows, and cared for in ways that support their health and well-being. Research has shown organic milk can have a healthier balance of fatty acids, including beneficial CLAs and omega-3s. Here in Alberta, organic milk comes from local farmers dedicated to quality and community, farming in harmony with nature to protect soil, water, and biodiversity for the future.

Organic Beef

Organic beef comes from cattle raised on pasture in low-stress, natural environments. They eat 100% organic feed, either grass or a grass–grain mix, and never receive synthetic hormones. Antibiotics are only used when absolutely necessary for animal health, and treated animals are removed from the organic program. Choosing organic beef supports farmers who are building healthy soils, protecting water, and promoting thriving ecosystems.

Organic Eggs & Chicken

Organic eggs and chicken come from birds that live cage-free, with plenty of space, fresh air, and access to the outdoors. They can dust bathe, stretch, and roam naturally. They’re raised without synthetic hormones or antibiotics, and fed only organic, non-GMO feed.

Organic Pork

Organic pork is raised from pigs that spend their days outdoors, rooting, mud-bathing, and socializing. Farmers choose hardy breeds well-suited to Alberta’s climate, supporting genetic diversity and animal well-being. By choosing organic pork, you’re supporting farmers who care for their animals, manage manure to protect soil and water, and avoid synthetic chemicals.

Organic Grains

Organic grains are grown without GMOs or synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides. Many farmers grow heritage and locally adapted varieties that offer unique flavours and qualities. Organic farming builds healthy soil with natural fertilizers, organic manure, and crop rotations, while protecting water and biodiversity.

Organic Produce

Organic produce is grown without synthetic pesticides or herbicides, reducing chemical exposure and protecting farm workers. It supports biodiversity, bee health, and natural pest control. Many organic farms grow heirloom and locally adapted varieties, and organic standards prohibit GMOs, keeping our food system natural and resilient.
