our story
Our Purpose
We’re a small company with a big purpose - to bring healing to the Earth and humankind.
We believe every bite we each take can make for a better tomorrow. By choosing organic food, we can create positive change in the world.
Our story started back in the early 1980s. We started as a small collective of like-minded people concerned about the issues society was facing and how we might best tackle those. We held a shared belief that the foundation for a good life began with nourishing ourselves with healthy food, and without doubt natures best medicine was organic food. We united behind organics as being the best way for us to make a positive contribution to solving the health of people, the environmental, as well as the social, and economic problems the world was and still is facing.
For over 40 years Ceres Organics has led the way in organic food. Our goal is to make delicious, healthy organic food available to more people everywhere.

Our food is grown and harvested in its most natural state, through organic farming practices, that reduces your exposure to harmful chemical residues, are minimally processed, and prioritise nutrient rich soils and biodiversity. GMO products and GE processes are prohibited. We also ensure a cleaner ingredients list because questionable artificial additives aren’t permitted. The result is food full of organic nutrients, flavour and tasting like real food should.

Caring for our community
Our purpose is to bring healing to earth and humankind.
This will only be achieved through the collective efforts of our growers, suppliers, employees, customers and everyone involved in our venture working together to create positive social & environmental impact.
We work closely with our growers and suppliers to ensure they adhere to our high ethical standards, such as safe working environments, fair labour, human rights, and ensuring social and environmental sustainability.
94%
of our products are certified organic, natrue certified or in conversion to organic.
Caring for our Earth
Organics is one of the most powerful forms of climate action!
Conventional agricultural systems are the second largest contributor to global greenhouse emissions and the largest in New Zealand.
Organic farming reduces greenhouse gas emissions through using renewable resources, preserving soil health and biodiversity, and promoting carbon sequestration, which allows carbon back into the soil where it belongs.

Creating lasting impact
As a social enterprise, we aim to create positive societal change.
This means that, unlike traditional business, we prioritise positive social and environmental outcomes over profit generation to support the well-being of everyone involved in our venture now and for future generations.
Small steps together can create positive change in the world and our communities. Whether it’s giving time through our employee positive impact programme or making organics a little more accessible, we believe that together is the only way to create positive impact in our communities.
