ABOUT Glorious Organics Co-op

Glorious Organics Co-op is a 3.5-acre cooperatively owned, certified organic and salmon-safe farm in Aldergrove, BC (Fraser Valley).

We grow beautiful and delicious food and we do so with respect for the land, water, and communities that surround us – this means that we practice sustainable agriculture techniques that foster healthy soil, water, and ecosystem health and we foster a team culture that values inclusivity, cooperation, fun, communication, and community. We celebrate that many of our prior staff have gone on to continue their own successful organic farming journeys with many coming back to us for multiple seasons!

Glorious Organics and the FCFC are committed to a zero tolerance policy on any discrimination, harassment or bullying regarding race, sex, disability, gender, age, sexual orientation, beliefs, and socio-economic background.
