Frequently Asked Questions

How does The Organic General Store Basket Service work?

The Organic General Store receives fresh organic produce every Thursday and it goes out to our customers, FRESH every Thursday.

Members of this program get one basket per week for four weeks. You receive, at your home, 10 different types of items weekly, usually two different types of fruits and eight different types of vegetables, some to be eaten raw and some requiring cooking – for lots of choice and diversity. We deliver to customers throughout the Niagara Region. Our members not only enjoy a wide variety of fresh organic produce conveniently delivered to their home, but they also benefit by receiving 25% off on all regular priced items at the Organic General Store.
