Food Source Competitors

Whole Foods was founded in 1980 on the belief that where food comes from, and how it’s grown, matters. It meant creating quality standards, working with suppliers who achieve them, and sharing that information with our customers. And it radically changed the way people understood and shopped for food. The result has been the highest quality natural and organic products, an unmatched experience in more than 500+ stores, with a passionate team of over 90,000 team members, 5 percent of our total net profits given back to our communities each year, and millions of customers who put their trust in us every day.

CONSCIOUS LIVING THROUGH ORGANICS Ceres Organics is the premier certified distributor of organic foods in Australasia with our flagship brand Ceres Organics. The company also operates in the health and beauty industry supplying skincare, haircare and cosmetics to the conscious consumer. We distribute to organic and health food stores, supermarkets, specialty food stores and co-ops as well as food manufacturers. “WE BELIEVE IN PROMOTING SUSTAINABILITY OF THE EARTH AND THE PEOPLE ON IT.” This means that as a company, we strive to make organic, biodynamic and GE-free food available to everyone. We source only quality products that are sustainably produced by organic or biodynamic methods, thereby creating a distribution chain that is both ecologically and socially responsible. Our status as a founding member of the GE-Free communities and general support of the GE-Free movement attest to our social responsibility. We were also the first New Zealand company to become EcoSocial certified, an organic fair trade certification. We endeavour to run the company in a conscientious way, believing that each person who works with us has valuable abilities to contribute to the growth and sustainability of the company. THESE PRINCIPLES ARE EMBODIED IN OUR MISSION: As merchants we work with products that enliven and bring healing to the earth and humankind. From our hearts, we consciously share this enterprise with those we serve, and acknowledge in turn our responsibility to society. We welcome and value each individual’s creative contribution as it is essential to fuelling the growth and success of this venture.

Our store also has I shop New World, a platform for you to do your grocery shopping online, wherever you are and at your convenience with the options of collecting your groceries on the way home from work, on the way to the park, as you head to a friend’s house for a wee get together or as you head into or out of town. Alternatively, if you live locally our friendly delivery team will happily deliver your groceries to your doorstep on a day and at a time that suits you. Alongside this is our catering offer – Made to Order. We have an extensive range of platters for you to choose from, which again can be collected or delivered.
