About bi'ok

Bi'OK is a Belgian organic grocery retailer operating four stores in Thorembais-St-Trond, Bois-de-Villers, Corbais, and Gastuche (Grez-Doiceau). The company presents itself as more than a shop: it describes Bi'OK as a civic commitment to greater respect for nature and human dignity, with a strong emphasis on local roots and human connection.

Alongside its stores, Bi'OK also runs Les Jardins de Bi'OK, a 4-hectare certified organic growing site located just behind the Corbais store. This project helps supply the Bi'OK shops with very local produce and also serves as a place for family picking, school visits, and discovery days for local residents.

Core Values

• Respect for nature: Bi'OK explicitly frames its mission around greater respect for the natural world, and its gardens are managed as certified organic land.
• Human dignity and community: The company emphasizes dignity, local life, and meaningful relationships with customers, producers, and its team.
• Passion and joy of living: Its communication highlights enthusiasm, intuition, generosity, and a joyful, heart-led approach to daily work.
• Local commitment: Bi'OK stresses very local sourcing and a close connection to the land, with production happening directly behind one of its stores.

Unique Aspects

• Four-store regional presence: Bi'OK operates four organic stores in Wallonia, giving it a multi-location retail footprint while remaining locally rooted.
• Own certified organic gardens: Les Jardins de Bi'OK comprise 4 hectares of certified organic land behind the Corbais store, supplying the company’s shops with produce.
• On-site growing and customer experience: The gardens are not only productive farmland but also a place for family picking and educational visits, blending retail, agriculture, and community engagement.
• Citizen-led positioning: Bi'OK describes itself as an engagement citoyen, which sets it apart from a purely commercial organic retailer by foregrounding social and environmental purpose.
