The Kamloops Organics Buying Club (KOBC) is a group of people living in the BC Interior who are interested in co-operating together to purchase high quality organic foods. By joining together to make purchases members are able to conveniently make household budgets go farther because of reduced pricing achieved through bulk buying. Another benefit is the ability to source specialty items which may not be otherwise available.
We order once a month from two BC companies (Horizon Distributors and an organic produce wholesaler from the BC Coast), who offer an excellent selection of produce and goods. In the interests of contributing to food security and local producers, we are exploring options for local buying and hope to add new suppliers from our region as we grow.
Because the intent of the group is to save money for the members and not make a profit, there are many opportunities within the group to volunteer to help KOBC grow.
