For over 50 years, OB People's Food Co-op has been the store you can trust to carry local, organic, sustainably-sourced, chemical-free foods and products. It's not just about freshness, it's about our health and safety and what we choose to put into our bodies 🌱🌞 People’s 100% Certified Organic Produce Department offers the very best in local, regional, and specialty fruits and vegetables. When you buy produce at People’s, you support organic & local farmers, help protect wildlife habitats and, because we are customer-owned, invest in your community.
We ❤️ Local
We are lucky to have long-standing partnerships with so many local farmers and producers. Look for the LOCAL tag throughout our store! Eating with the seasons is a great way to ensure you are eating more local food. Pictured here are Farmer Joe and his son Michael from J.R. Organics Farm in Escondido!
What’s Growing?
Eating with the seasons is the best way to ensure you are eating more local food! We are so lucky to have an extended growing season here in San Diego thanks to sunny days on the farm! December seasonal produce includes: Apples, Citrus, Winter Squash, Root Vegetables, Pomegranates, Persimmons, Cranberries, and more!
No Apeel here!
We say NO to Apeel ❌ The Co-op does not now, nor have we ever carried any produce with the Apeel fruit and vegetable coating applied to it.
Our Produce Department is 100% certified organic and we go out of our way to source quality fruits and vegetables and treat them with care in store, so that you can be sure you're taking home the fruit, the whole fruit, and nothing but the fruit!
