Your Guide To Buying Organic Produce in Beijing

Want to go organic without the hassle of finding a different grower for all your production needs? Well, it’s actually a lot easier than you think! About a year ago, our editor Anna Pellegrin Hartley wrote about three WeChat mini-programs that will deliver organic products right to your doorstep.

However, our latest discovery is an app called Spring sowing Chunbo which will provide same day delivery services on a wide range of certified organic products. Furthermore, they differentiate themselves from other grocery delivery platforms with their quality control stamps, and even organize their products based on the ranking of these rigorously achieved stamps.

On the home page, you will see five stamps:

  1. Chunbo BEST (the gold standard established by the company itself)
  2. China National Organic Certification
  3. Chunbo Fair Trade Alliance
  4. Food traceability
  5. Locally produced

How to order: Search 春播 in your app store and follow the basic steps to log in. Frankly, the app is no different from JD.com, Taobao, Meituan, or basically any other delivery app.

Now let’s take a walk down memory lane and review the WeChat organic mini-programs that we featured earlier.

Farm Fresh Plus

Farm Fresh Plus is a certified organic farm in Tianjin, delivering to customers in Beijing every Wednesday, and is known for the level of care provided by the Australian-born owner. Daniel D’urso pays your customers. The foreign-friendly English app makes ordering a breeze, and the variety of products available changes seasonally, so all you have to do is choose from a vegetarian box (including salad greens and eggs) , a vegan box (no eggs), or just a green salad box. Then pay and wait for delivery. There is also a 3kg mini version of each box, which is especially good for smaller households. It is a subscription service, so each week you will receive a message via WeChat asking if you want to reorder for the following week.

Farm Fresh Plus is committed to reducing waste, and all products come in cotton bags that can, along with the egg containers, be returned to the courier on the next delivery, who will take them back to the farm for washing and reuse them. FFP guarantees a 24-hour farm-to-door delivery time and is also collaborating with the Beijing International Center for Veterinary Services (ICVS) to donate RMB 40 from the first order from all new members who are referred by an existing customer. .

How to order: Search Farm Fresh Plus on WeChat under Official Accounts and select EAT from the menu bar to configure your order. Or scan the QR code above. The application is in English.
