Organic Meadow opens Toronto warehouse Thursday, May 19, 2011 by SUSAN MANNOrganic Meadow Inc. is dishing up better service to its customers now that it has opened a warehouse in Toronto.Angelo Eleusiniotis, vice president sales for Organic Meadow, says the majority of Organic Meadow’s distributor network is located in Toronto so it made sense to locate the warehouse there. “What we’re trying to do is ensure that there’s the freshest possible inventory on the shelf at all times,” he says.Before customers used to complain their local store would run out of stock of their favourite products. “We’re just trying to make it a little easier for our consumers to have access to the product,” he says.The 22,000 square foot warehouse on Horner Avenue can hold more than 60 of Organic Meadow’s products. There are three separate areas: a bulk and rack section, cooler and freezer. Organic Meadow opened the warehouse because it wants to improve the level of inventory that’s available “so we have inventory on hand in one location all the time,” he explains. The warehouse facility makes it much easier for the company’s distributors and retailers to have access to the inventory.Organic Meadow is an organic farmers’ co-operative with more than 160 members, including more than 100 family farms. The co-op offers a full line of dairy products, eggs and frozen vegetables. BF Natural gas well owners still don't trust government Sparks fly over Huron County severance
