  • Green Grocery

    Visit our green grocery retail space every Saturday at The Western Fair Farmers' and Artisans' Market for all your organic grocery needs! This is where it all started for On The Move. Many customers of our grocery will recognize Jeff's sister Jen, without whom OTMO would never have gotten off the ground. At the green grocery we stock everything from fresh local produce and fruits, to organic grains and dried goods, to natural dairy products. Make sure to try our free-range Gingerich eggs and our line of fresh and dried herbs from Heritage Line! We have recently added a line of organic/natural kitchen and hygiene products as well. In addition to this, we also cater to all our vegan customers with a range of offerings from pizza to rice milk ice cream! 

    As with all our efforts, our main focus in our green grocery is on certified organic produce and products, with a special emphasis on local or fair trade. We have new products every week, and we always take our customers' tastes into consideration when ordering!

  • Juice Bar

    Visit "The Movement" Juice Bar on the second floor of The Western Fair Farmers' and Artisans' Market every Saturday from 8-3 to experience the fresh juice revolution in London! As London's only organic juice and smoothie bar, we are proud to offer you a selection of tried-and-true favourites such as the energy-packed Engine 86, the spicy but sweet Sikorski Slammer, and everyone's favourite, the Slap Me Silly Smoothie. Sick of the same? Our energetic juice bartenders whip up new healthy and delicious concoctions every weekend to keep it interesting! Feeling particularly drained? Drag your lazy bones down here and try a shot of organic wheatgrass. It'll give you a jolt even your morning caffeine can't compete with! "The Movement" is a relaxing space perfect for meeting friends, hanging out with the kids, or reading about the local food movement.

     Don't miss this Saturday Market treat! 

  • CSA Program

    Community Shared Agriculture (CSA), is an alternative food network that is structured on a socio-economic model of agriculture and food distribution. A CSA consists of a community of individuals who pledge support to a farming operation where the growers and consumers share the risks and benefits of food production. CSAs usually consist of a system of weekly or biweekly delivery or pick-up of vegetables and fruit, in a vegetable box scheme. The summer of 2011 marked our very first experiment with the CSA program as we partnered with Triple Cord Farm in Aylmer, and we are pleased to announce that it was a great success! We have added a Fall/Winter CSA to get you through the long winter months.

  • Our Roots

    OTMO was founded four years ago by Jeff Pastorius, a then-recent grad of Huron University College's Global Studies and Philosophy Program. A pervasive concern with sustainable food politics soon had him and his friend Dan Hilton obsessively hunting down local organic farms. Organic veggies stole his heart and cast him on the turbulent but rewarding path of produce! 

    OTMO's first incarnation was as a small outdoor market booth offering a selection of local organic food. Soon after, we established a home delivery system (read: Jeff and his mom Jeanette filled boxes and delivered them in his friend`s tiny car. Many thanks to Jeanette for your years of help!). That fall, we secured a permanent retail location on the main floor of The Western Fair Farmers’ and Artisans’ Market, run by Jeff's sister Jen.  In the spring of 2010, we built a dual-use space on the second floor of the market, where we assembled our home delivery boxes out of the custom built walk-in cooler (we used old doors, air conditioners, bike parts, and lots and lots of insulation!). The booth also features a beautiful, community-designed and built organic juice bar. In the summer of 2011, Joel Pastorius and Aaron Lawrence came on board the OTMO team, and have both become core members.

    In the summer of 2012 we moved our operations into a renovated warehouse space at 623 Dundas Street, after nearly a full year of planning, demolition, and rebuilding (THANK YOU to all our handy friends who helped every step of the way!). With the beautiful old winery storefront in the front of the warehouse as a venue, what better project to add than an organic cafe and bakery? Coffee aficionado Ellie Cook and artisan baker Max Collin joined the crew to run The Root Cellar Organic Cafe.

    Four years have flown by and we are ever-grateful to our families, friends, community, and of course our customers for keeping us busy and constantly reminding us of our love for healthy, local, organic food.
