Founded by Heather and Alex Billingsley in 2007, Mama Earth Organics is a company based in Toronto, Canada that delivers weekly or bi-weekly bins of various certified organic produce to your home. The idea is that you choose what type of basket that best fits you and the people in your home. Delivery is free.
This is part of a growing industry that attempts to make local and organic food more available and accessible, especially in urban areas such as the Greater Toronto Area. The Mama Earth Organics website also offers a blog, recipes with Ontario-grown produce, natural remedies for illnesses and links to the farmers that they work closely with.
