About Us:
On The Move Organics was founded in London’s Old East Village in 2008, and grew out of a desire to rebuild Southwestern Ontario’s local food system. We believe food is at the heart of community, and proudly deliver high quality, local and organic produce and groceries to London and surrounding area. The tenets of sustainability, food sovereignty and cooperation have underpinned our mission since the beginning. Today, we continue to operate in the Old East Village, we employ an amazing and eclectic team, and we put the earth first in all our business practices.
From our mandate to source local, organic and small-scale, to our commitment to decreasing waste in packaged foods, to our long-standing compost program – we always move forward with the planet in mind. We put the earth first, not because it’s more profitable, but because we are aware of the climate emergency and the destructive nature of the conventional food system, and we want to work for change.
We work closely with a collective of local food organizations: The Root Cellar, London Brewing and LOLA Bees.
