The Harvest Co-op is an organic fruit and vegetable cooperative where we are able to pool our resources and purchase in bulk.
This project was created by Valerie Nicholson and Michael Arzadon in the Fall of 2011 as part of their program at Simon Fraser University.
We recognize everyone’s right to healthy fresh fruits and vegetables and that a healthy diet is essential for persons living with HIV, Cancer, Hepatitis C & other chronic illnesses.
Our wonderful fresh ORGANIC fruits and vegetables are supplied to us by Discovery Organics.
Our long-term goal is to partner with other organizations involved in fruit and vegetable farming and hope to eventually be self-sustainable. The organizers have worked in nutrition & HIV health.
As members of the HIV community, we recognize the community’s challenges and needs. This is the source of our passion and drive.
Together we will make a difference.
We recognize our community partner organizations:

The website and logo are attractive and sure to attract attention.
Congratulations to you both for your effort and innovation.
This initiative directly responds to a gap in services which has gone unmet for some time.
Well done and best wishes for continuing success.
