With my farming co-op not , and the not getting going for another few weeks, I thought I'd take a quick drive to Burnaby and hit up Pro Organic's weekly warehouse sale.
is one of Canada's largest distributors of quality organic goods. Â Most of their business is with retail vendors, however on Saturdays from 8:30-2pm they are open to the public.
When I got there at opening time, there were already a dozen or so people itching to get in. Â As much as I like the civil meandering which goes on at the , this was a bit more like meets Costco, which I enjoyed. Â Going into the scrum with your elbows up, and coming out with a bushel of organic carrots makes you feel ALIVE!
They had a few lying around outside, but just to be safe you should bring your own box. Â I thought at first this was kind of silly, but my eco bag was splitting at the seams. Â The produce was super fresh and well priced. Â If you're anywhere near highway, you absolutely have to check this place out. Â Take the Willingdon exit and turn onto Still Creek, it's strangely enough right near the in the lower mainland.
