Glorious Organics Cooperative

            The Glorious Organics was conceived during 1985 when Heather Pritchard and Herb Barbolet, members of Fraser Common Farm Co-operative in Aldergrove, worked on a Canada Employment grant to "research ways in which people could supplement their incomes on small landholdings in the Fraser Valley".

             California cuisine was heading north on the heels of the flower power movement, Expo 86 was just ahead and Chef Hubertus Surm at Isadora's Co-operative Restaurant on Granville Island believed in our concept.   Of all the ideas surveyed during the grant, a combination of specialty salads, edible flower

             Heather Pritchard, Susan Davidson and Dave McCandless currently own and operate Glorious Salads. We cultivate about seven of Fraser Common Farm Co-op's twenty acre holding, using some   plastic shelters to extend our season, keep the edible flowers dry and for winter protection.  However, our eighteen years of experience show that only field grown crops, challenged by the stress and diversity of  outdoor conditions, develop the full character, robust flavor and  long shelf life  that characterize our seasonal pre-cut mixes.

              Our goal as "local heroes" is to serve a loyal and discerning restaurant market with our specialized certified organic seasonal greens, vegetables, garnishes, herbs and edible flowers.  You can also find us at several of the local farmers markets including Trout Lake (East Van) at the Langley Organic Growers stall.

            We work with other local organic growers like Friesen Farms and Glen Valley Organic Farm to supplement our product list.

 Celebrate Spring, Summer and Fall with us- our salads and garnishes change with the season.
