Share Organics has been delivering local produce to households in the Victoria area for over 12 years! In September 2009 we will be expanding to Colwood and Langford.

We offer you a selection of great Produce Boxes and more! Boxes are the best way to buy because we fill them with fresh seasonal fruit and vegetables direct from local farms!

Use our recipe section to help get the harvest to your table.

Customize your box to suit your family's needs.

For you 100 mile Diet folks we offer our Local Only Box for 6 months of the year! Then it becomes a Regional box to include mainland fruit. No changes to this box but we will accommodate your Never Sends!

We offer local organic eggs, baked goods, dairy and soy products as well as sustainable seafood, local free range meats and much more.

Browse the Store to see it all!

Share Organics sources organic fruit and vegetables as close to home as possible. First we buy LOCAL - from Vancouver Island and Gulf Island farmers. Then we buy BC - from our farmer friends on the mainland.

We buy within our Bio Region. This would include Washington State which has some wonderful farms with lots of produce to offer.

We would supplement with imports from Oregon,and then California or Mexico only when local or regionally grown is not an option. This most often happens between December and May. We never buy off the continent with the exception of bananas and ginger.

At Share Organics you can shop knowing you will be choosing from the freshest, 'closest to home' organic produce available.

In the summer, our boxes are up to 80% local with a top up of Okanogan stone fruits (peaches, nectarines, cherries) and the occasional lemon or avocado! For more information about our products

In the off season, December through May, we offer you local and BC storage and greenhouse crops, and crops from further south along the west coast and into Mexico.

School Fundraising Program

Encouraging healthy food, healthy schools and healthy fundraising!

School Fundraiser Testimonial

In the past two years I have organized the Share Organics fundraising boxes for my daughters preschool and elementary school. The families who chose to order these food boxes were amazed by the difference they noticed in eating organic produce. Several people commented that the apples were the best apples that they'd ever tasted. Recently the organic produce bin had purple potatoes in it and three families said that they'd never thought to try those potatoes in the grocery store but were hooked after trying them from the Share Organics box. I am thrilled to see what's in my box every month and rave to every one about the hazelnuts and mangos I've received. Getting the bins delivered to our school for pickup by parents is also a wonderful convenience! – Shannon Husk

Stepping lightly on our Earth

Our goal is to use only reusable or recyclable packaging and to use it only when it is essential to preserve the integrity of a product.

We recycle or compost everything we can.

We deliver close to 40% of our boxes by bicycle! The rest of our products are delivered by vehicles owned by the members of the Victoria Car Share Co-operative. Share Organics has been a member since 1997.
