Upcoming Milk Price Change

Green Earth Organics has long been a supporter of Avalon Dairy and we are proud to be carrying so many of their organic products, including the full line of 1-litre milk in the charming glass bottles, their sour cream and cottage cheese, and more. Over time, the regulated price for raw milk has increased, and, of course, the costs of labour and everything else has gradually gone up too. For several years, Green Earth Organics has absorbed the many small price increases, but we now have to increase our retail prices a bit to keep up with the changes. The price on all our Avalon Dairy and Valley Pride items will be increasing by a mere $0.25 on March 1st, 2012.

It is very important to us to offer the best prices we can, especially on an item that is a staple for so many of our members, so we have double-checked that we are competitively priced. For example:

Green Earth Organics: Avalon Organic 2% Milk - 1 litre: $2.90 ($2.76 on standing order)
Other health-food home delivery service: $3.19
Conventional home delivery service: $3.49
Health-food chain store: $3.29
Conventional grocery chain store: $3.59

We haven't promoted the 4-litre bottles as much in the past because they are packaged in plastic, non-returnable bottles, but for families looking to save some money, they may be a suitable option. Though currently marketed under the name Valley Pride, these organic milks are also made by Avalon Dairy.

Part of keeping our prices low is making sure we don't have to discard products for being short-dated, so we do not stock extra bottles of the 4-litre milks. If you order your milk early in the week (over the weekend, for example) or if you put the milk on standing order, we will be able to order just the right amount.

Green Earth Organics: Valley Pride Organic 2% Milk - 4 litres: $9.08 ($8.63 on standing order)
Other (health-food) home delivery service: $9.39
Other (conventional) home delivery service: $10.29

If you are interested in learning more about our standing order system, which allows you to save 5% off any items you need to order on a regular basis, or if you have any questions or concerns about our service or prices, please call us at 604-708-2345 or email us at info@greenearthorganics.com.
