Organic Select

Organic Select was born in 2004 after finishing up a traditional Chinese Medicine degree, and seeking out local producers of organic foods for my family. Then noticing most of the patients were lacking in nutritional, and especially enzymes, we started growing wheat grass and sunflower sprouts on the balcony of a tiny apartment over Rio Cuale. Those where our first mini crops.

The sunflower sprout is on the logo.

Back then, the fledgling business was set up like a community supported agricultural membership ( CSA). We started delivering products directly to friends homes for which they helped by paying forward a yearly fee.

We found tourists with dietary preferences appreciated the ease of having access to local organic foods delivered to their vacation home. With that in mind we brainstormed up a website using ' Fresh Direct' from Manhattan as a guide. Then people started asking us about a storefront address.

We opened our first store on Francia Street in Versalles 2012. Then people coming in to shop started asking for something to eat. We added simple meals, such as salads, sandwiches, soups, juices, bakery goods and coffee drinks.

We were 1 of 6 venders in the Vallarta Saturday market that opened in 2006. Then 1 of 5 venders when the Sayulita Mercado del pueblo started in 2008.

One step at a time, sometimes pretty messy, growing out of the mud so to speak.

Today, our family business operates the store and bio stem regeneration solutions center in the Romantic zone downtown Vallarta, the gardens in San Sebastian del Oeste, a specialised bakery, a processing warehouse, a business that supports single family households, local farmers and selected professionals.

I am, personally, incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported and encouraged our journey helping us transform our vision of wellness in body, mind, and soul.

Welcome to our community. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
