Carolina Organic Growers, Inc.
A marketing cooperative of certified organic farmers
Carolina Organic Growers, Inc. is a farmers’ cooperative
made up of small family farms located in North Carolina, from
the mountains to the coast. Our member farms are Certified Organic
by independent certifying agencies who are working with the new
National Organic Program. We take pride in personally planting,
harvesting, grading, packing, and shipping each crop to you.
COG
serves restaurants, grocers, buying clubs, festivals and conferences,
offering exceptional variety, professional sales, dependable delivery,
and fair pricing. COG specializes in heirloom delicacies as well
as standard staples and attempts to satisfy the customer’s
desire for just picked, sun-sweetened, and flavor-packed produce.
We encourage long term relationships with local restaurants and
are willing to ‘grow to order’; if you would like
us to try to grow a special crop for you, please be sure to let
us know.
In
an effort to maximize our largely volunteer farmer staff, we have
reorganized our business over the last three months into a “hub”
system, a new sales and delivery system. We hope this new system
will give each of our customers more contact with our farmers
and our farmers more contact with our customers. This will also
reduce some trucking overhead and we can pass those savings on
to you. It may also mean that certain products will not move across
the state as in the past during certain low production times of
the year as each region learns to grow for its own, more local
market. The new system, described in detail on this site, will
also allow greater access to new member farms within the different
geographic regions.
Carolina
Organic Growers welcomes new certified organic farmer inquiries.
We hope to begin cooperation also with other local food producers
(non-organic, non-member) soon. We hope you will find us to be
“The Source” for local food and farmer contacts. If
you have a product you need help distributing, please contact
us. We may be able to help you.
We
at COG hope that you will take the time to comment on our new
sales and delivery system during the marketing season.
