Who we are

As a small, independent family business Organico is of a rare and dying breed. We are not in a town center location, nor do we have much customer parking. What we can and do offer is dedicated, individual service which depends completely on the passion and energy of our fantastic team of staff, many of whom have been working with us for years.

When Organico was started in the early 1990’s by Alan Dare it was a one-man show, run by Alan with a little help from his (little) daughters, who loved playing shop! Now Organico comprises a shop, a Cafe and a Bakery; and in total employs nearly 15 people.
These include: Liz Ewing and Tracey Wilson (shop manager and assistant manager); Sue and Sean Cooper (wonderful bread and cake bakers); Tim, Fleur, & Aki (product advisors and shop floor staff); Sylva, Brandy, Corrina, Lauren and Geraldine in the Cafe and kitchen. Eternal gratitude also goes to Vicki for her cleaning and re-cycling and to Liana and Carla for keeping the shelves stocked and clean!
