About Us

 

You like fresh, local, organic food and you want it delivered right to your home? At Pfennings Organic and More, we have you covered! We’ve been delivering organic goodness to people’s homes and workplaces since 1998.

 

The History of Pfennings Organic & More

 

 

We are Almut and Wolfgang, storeowners, health enthusiasts, and parents of five wonderful health-minded children. You will see two of them - Barnhild and Aurélie - actively working in the Store now and carrying on the family tradition.

 

Almut founded Pfenning's Organic & More in 1993 - and we celebrated our 30--year anniversary in 2023! Back in 1993 it was a small out-of-the-barn store on Pfenning’s Organic Vegetable Farm, where Almut grew up.

The Store moved to Baden in 1996, and then to St. Agatha in 1998, where it’s been ever since.

 

We strive to provide our customers with affordable REAL FOOD from local sources as much as possible — fresh, certified organic, local fruits and vegetables, groceries and some processed "health foods". We also offer locally-sourced organic pasture-raised meat, chicken, turkey, beef, pork, fish and many other items.

 

In addition to all of this, we also carry bulk items, such as grains, flours, beans, nuts, seeds, spices, herbs. You can find everything here in our Catalogue. With our online service we offer you all of this, conveniently delivered right to your door!

The Beginning of Food Basket Delivery

 

In 1998, due to popular demand, we launched our Food Basket Home Delivery Service. We celebrated our 25-year anniversary in 2023!

 

Almut, Wolfgang and their daughters, Barnhild and Aurélie, pack fresh Food Baskets that our customers love every week! After that, Wolfgang delivers them, bringing delicious and wholesome food directly to the homes of our customers.

 

Many of the vegetables in the Baskets come from local organic growers from all over Waterloo Region and the surrounding area.

 

In the summer, we can even include near-sustainable fruit from the Niagara Region. Anything not grown regionally we get from outside organic sources, preferably Canadian. In the winter, we will see produce coming from the U.S, Mexico, Central and South America.
