Hi Marlene,
Somehow I missed your message – sorry! Full Tilt organics run by Colette Urban (McIvers) has organic veggies. Have you connected with the WEC & farmer’s market in Corner Brook? might be best bet to find source of free range chicken & other local & organic produce. There are several organic producers on the east coast and Bonavista Peninsula. What part of the Island are you located?
