Without a healthy earth we have nothing. Organic farming protects the soil, the water and the animals on whom all life depends.

Why Support Organic Farming?

• Care Of The Soil

  Conventional farms rely on Insecticides, herbicides and fertilizers to produce large crops. Soil is a living thing; the microorganisms, animals and insects it supports are essential for good fertility but are killed off with intensive farming. We support organic farms which tend their soil as lovingly as their crops, knowing, as we do, that it is the basis of sustainable agriculture and a sustainable future.

• Protect Water Supply

  Conventional farming leaves high levels of chemical residue in the soil, which gets washed down into rivers and streams to pollute the water table. Organic farming works to protect the water supply. The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) discovered pesticides in the groundwater of 40 countries, a sign of how the conventional system is poisoning both us and the world.

• Support Small Farms

  The bedrock of organic farming worldwide is the family farm and small scale agriculture. When these farms join together they can create a community strong enough to take on large companies that currently dominate the food industry. Organic foods have become big business with corporations buying up the popular organic brands. We always aim to buy from the smaller suppliers though as it is these companies who truly believe in the foods that they sell and who live by their organic principles.

• Make A Difference

  Small scale farming allows people to create change through introducing new species, crop rotation and new technology.

• Protect People

  Conventional farming can use highly toxic chemicals, damaging the health of the farmers as well as the consumer. We support organic farmers who protect their own health and pass on those health benefits to the people who buy their produce. We want to protect the health of the world as a whole which is why we stand behind organic agriculture.

• Reliability

  'Organic' is now a standard term and cannot be used without supporting documentation registered with a governmental agency. A product cannot be labelled organic unless a government agency has found it to be free of herbicides, insecticides, chemical fertilizers or fungicides through production, post-harvest processing and distribution.
