Buy Organic In Bulk


Buying in bulk is nothing more than purchasing exactly what we need by weight, without the need to take home extra amounts of food or useless packaging. This can be a huge step in one's zero waste journey because it minimizes waste and cuts down the use of plastic packaging, and thanks to the advent of so many organic online stores, bulk buying may look like an ultra-easy experience.

Organic entered the market as a synonym for "healthy", but I'm sure you've wondered more than once if this is even true. What are the pros of consuming organic products? Are organic foods healthier than conventional ones? Is it worth that extra expense that always comes hand in hand with anything organic? Or is it all just a fad?


Not only does organic taste better, but the nutritional value properties have been found to be higher than that of conventional produce. Some studies show organic foods have a higher amount of antioxidants and lower levels of pesticides than their conventional counterparts, so this means fewer anti-nutrients and toxic chemicals in our diets, yay!


Also, organic produce doesn't have GMO genes, which is a great thing if you consider the possible negative effects that they could have on our health such as allergic reactions, antibiotic resistance, and even cancer.


On top of this, organic food is way more sustainable than conventional ones because organic farms do not pollute the environment as much as agricultural companies. They use 45% less energy, release 40% less CO2 emissions, and even tend to have more fertile soil thanks to the lack of nasty pesticides.


So in the end, why should you buy organic? Because it's healthier for your body and better for our planet! Now that you know all this, let's talk about the benefits of buying organic food online in bulk.


Disposable containers flood the supermarkets, as well as the streets and oceans. Polystyrene trays, plastic wrapping, and PET containers are now part of the landscape in almost every country in the world. Fortunately, the return of bulk stores allows us to change a bit those shopping habits that we already considered as something normal by replacing non-biodegradable packaging with reusable bags, returnable jars, or biodegradable wrappings.


Plus, there's nothing more convenient than simply turning on your laptop, placing an order, and waiting for your organic products to be delivered to your doorstep. In a nutshell, buying in bulk online definitely allows you to make smarter decisions when it comes to bringing food into your home.


Full Circle Foods is an organic food supplier, that provides boxes of farm-fresh organic produce direct from organic farmers. Their boxes come packed with goodies such as fresh fruits and vegetables that are certified organic. You can pick your produce or let them sent you the latest in-season items. You can change the delivery frequency and also get ahold of eggs and other organic farm-fresh items.


A Cut Above is a local bulk meat delivery service that offers grass-fed meat right to your door, making eco-friendly online bulk shopping easier than ever! This is not a subscription box, A Cut Above instead will deliver "months worth of meat right to your freezer". All you have to do is go online choose your size, type, and cut, the meats are vacuum sealed for you. Along with meat, you have the choice of Poultry which is fed non-GMO grains and is certified by a third party to ensure no chemicals are in the soil. This is a great way to connect to local farmers in your area. Choose from 4 meat boxes, beef, chicken, fish & seafood, or pork. Price varies from $85-95/per week for 4-5 Adult Portions.


With Bulk Barn, you can shop online and in-store if you are lucky enough to have one in your neighborhood. They offer a massive selection of organic foods like bulk coffee, bulk peanut butter, bulk rice, dates, oatmeal, and bulk herbs and species. You can check most pantry staps off your list.

This is one of Canada's largest organic online bulk shops, they have been around since 2004 and sell a variety of raw vegan bulk foods. They ship all over Canada and the USA. Looking for nuts, seeds, dried fruits, supplements, sea vegetables, bread, teas, herbs, and spices, they've got it all. They even have a discounted bulk section and health section for kids and pets too. This is truly a one-stop-shop for all your bulk organic food shopping.


I first them the lovely people behind this Certified B. Corp over 10 years ago and I am so happy to say they have grown, a lot. You have so many choices, from custom produce baskets to chef-made meals and even pantry staples. Mama Earth Organics is a subscription service for those who wanted to stock a zero-waste kitchen with local, organic, and nutritious food. They donate a portion of all their sales to help families suffering from food insecurity. They only deliver in the GTA and prices start as low as $12.45.


Out West serving Victoria, Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton, Spud carries organic and local groceries that are grown sustainably. What I love about Spud is they sell "ugly" and "imperfect food" which helps to reduce food waste substantially. They also compost all the food that can't be sold or donated. Spud is one of the best online bulk stores, to date, they have diverted 7 million plastic grocery bags from landfills with their reusable bins and they support 217 local vendors.


Thrive has a simple motto "healthy living made easy", this is what I love to hear. Thrive is incredibly popular in the USA and for good reason. Not only do they offer organic food at 50% below retail there selection is HUGE: organic pantry staples, check. Beauty items, check. Organic cleansers, check. Pet care, check. You get the idea. You need to sign up to become a member and when you join if you order at least once a month you will save about $384US each year!


I was on the fence about including Amazon, but I think it's important to think about accessibility and cost. Not everyone can shop the same way and Amazon does make it really easy to have organic food delivered to your door since they acquired Whole Foods. I shop every week at Whole Foods and wish this program was available in Canada. If you are in the USA you can get your snacks, produce, frozen foods, eggs, cheese, and more. If you are an Amazon Prime Member you can save an extra 10%.


Bring Michellin Star ingredients right into your kitchen with Saffi's impressive lineup of bulk oils and vinegar. And that's not it, all their ingredients are sustainably sourced and grown, unpasteurized, raw, and free from crappy preservatives. "That's why we work directly with our farms, use only clean, undiluted, or mixed products, and provide complete transparency of the source of our ingredients." Love that!


If organic food is something you care about, then organic online shopping in bulk should be your next big investment. I don't mean to sound biased here, but I can't tell you how many times I've been to the grocery store and bought organic produce only to find out that it's gone bad before I could eat it all! Buying organic food online in bulk solves this problem and saves me a ton of time.


The process of buying organic in bulk online allows you the convenience and flexibility that makes shopping for groceries so much easier! So don't wait any longer - start planning your next organic shopping list, both your overall health and Mother Earth will forever be grateful.


Great articles Candace! I looked into most of these services, not all are bulk delivery methods but still worth to purchase. I noticed another bulk meat company Farm Club at and they also seem to be a good bulk meat provider in Canada. Thought you would appreciate it. Thanks!


In our family, we are big fans of buying in bulk. But this isn't just because bulk foods are often cheaper. In particular, since we also like to eat organic whenever possible, we want to realize the twin savings of buying organic in bulk! Read on to learn how to get the best deals on bulk organic foods.


The Bulk Is Green Council (a.k.a. BIG) has compiled research to show that buying in bulk for organic foods can net you as much as 89% in savings over buying smaller packaged portions of the same foods in stores.


Whether your organic food needs run to purchasing a whole cow or an entire bin of dry lentils, a buying club can be your answer to questions like "But where do I store my bulk buy?" and "What if I can't eat it all up before it goes bad?"


A CSA is one way to ensure a steady supply of budget-friendly, super-fresh organic produce. A CSA is set up to support local farmers by recruiting purchasers for their crops. Essentially, you buy a "share" of the CSA, and the money you spend goes to pay a portion of local farmers' operating expenses. In exchange, you enjoy fresh produce during the entire growing season (24-26 weeks).


Many bulk shoppers like to bring and fill their own containers when shopping from the organic bulk bins at local grocers or co-ops (this also saves you from having to transfer what you've bought to other containers when you get home!).
