Price Increase in Vancouver

It is one of the sad facts of life that prices are always going up. For our dairy suppliers, that means increases in all the usual things involved in a business venture - rent, gas, electricity, labour - plus the cost of organic food and other upkeep for the animals. Our dairy and egg suppliers have increased their prices several times over the last couple of years, but Green Earth Organics Vancouver has just absorbed those increases and just made less money on those items. Unfortunately, those increases by our suppliers are all adding up, and we have to increase our dairy and egg prices a small amount this spring.

Effective starting with March 25th's deliveries, Vancouver's milk and egg prices will be increasing by between 5% and 10%. We have been comparing our prices with those charged by similar services and stores in Vancouver and we will make sure we are still very competitive with their prices.

When comparing our prices with our services, please keep in mind that we only sell organic milk. Avalon does make non-organic milk as well, and it will always be cheaper than organic milk.

If you are interested in saving some money on any of our wonderful organic grocery items that you use on a regular basis, we can always add items to your standing order. Standing orders can be set up for delivery with every bin or every second bin, and they are always 5% off the website price. Just give us a call or email if you have any questions about the standing orders or if you want any help setting one up just right for you.

We also offer Avalon's organic milk in the 2 litre and 4 litre plastic bottles (under the name "Valley Pride") by special order and standing order only. The price on those items will also be increasing a small amount, but they are still cheaper per litre than the 1 litre glass bottles. If you would like more information about this option, or have any other questions or concerns, please contact us at 604-708-2345 or vancouver@greenearthorganics.com.

Thank you for supporting organic food and Green Earth Organics!
