Why Buy Organic

Organic is great for your well-being and the environment.

Organic is kind to animals and wildlife and allows us to make a big difference - simply through the way we shop.

With all these benefits, it’s easy to see why organic delivers such good value for money.

 1. Know what's in your food

                            Hydrogenated fats and controversial additives including aspartame, tartrazine, MSG are banned under organic standards. 

 2. It's a greener way of producing food

                           Organic farming releases less greenhouse gases than non-organic farming.

                           Choose organic, local and seasonal food - it can significantly reduce your carbon footprint. 

 3. Kinder to animals

                            Organic standards insist that animals are given plenty of space and fresh air to thrive and grow - guaranteeing a truly free-range life.

 4. Protect wildlife

                           Organic farms are havens for wildlife and provide homes for bees, birds and butterflies.

                           The UK Government’s advisors found that plant, insect and bird life is up to 50% greater on organic farms.  

 5. GM-free

                           Genetically modified crops and ingredients are banned under organic standards.

                           You may be surprised to know that over a million tonnes of GM crops are imported each year to feed the majority of non-organic livestock which produce pork, bacon, milk, cheese and other dairy products.
