For consumers, order on-line and get your Organic Local Foods Delivered right to your front door… and for small business folk get your home-made, organic and raw goods out into the market… :) Thanks for sharing Katie… lets help make this new on-line network a success, so we can move towards a healthier happy lifestyle…. :)

Natural Choice Network Is Opening In Durham Region and They Want YOU!

NCN is an online grocery store that sells organic, natural and LOCAL products and delivers to your door.  Just imagine getting organic meat, free range eggs, fresh bread and natural cleaning products delivered to your front door – just like the olden days!
The BEST part is, that they want to source as much as possible from right here in Durham.  So if you make soap, grow herbs, can beans, make baby food, sell raw dog food, make gluten-free cookies – they can help you get YOUR product in front of customers and delivered to their homes.
The even BETTER part – NCN has secured an exclusive contract with FRONT DOOR ORGANICS – one of the best organic produce companies in Ontario to deliver to the Durham area.  So your products will be aligned with this fantastic company, which is currently delivering across Mississauga and Western Toronto and you can benefit from their existing marketing.  
This is a huge opportunity for small business owners who need to reach more customers.  But it is also so important to our community that we are able to provide an alternative to Wal-Mart where every day busy mom’s can still shop local with total convenience.  
You can LIKE their Facebook page to follow updates and learn more about this new venture.
**Please pass this message on to anyone you think might be interested in selling their natural or local products on this on-line marketplace.**  
Let’s all get ready to buy local, like we never have before!
