The greatest strength of The Big Carrot is the accumulated knowledge and experience of its Members and Staff.  Our broad based, co-operative approach to research into healthy, organic food production and the implementation of exacting standards within the store has evolved over 26 years of searching for nature’s finest.  A vital element to our continued success is our commitment to education. We believe in sharing our knowledge and experience with our customers and providing them with the tools they need to make informed, healthy choices.  To further these goals we direct your attention to our policies regarding these issues of concern; Genetically Engineered Organisms (please visit nongmoproject.org), Social Justice, Fair Trade, Sustainable Seafood and Animal Welfare.
