Why choose organic?
We're certified organic by Organic Farmers & Growers, that's important for us, the land we manage, our wildlife and the food we produce.
What is organic food?
Organic is a system of farming and food production. Organic farmers aim to produce high-quality food, using methods that benefit our whole food system, from people to planet, plant health to animal welfare.
In the face of climate change, diet related ill-health and widespread decline in wildlife, the need to change our food systems has never been greater. A transition towards agroecological farming systems, like organic, can make a world of difference.
Organic farmers aim to create a natural balance between plants and animals to prevent pests.
Farmers encourage birds, beetles and other 'beneficial insects' (like ladybirds) on to their farms to eat pests like aphids, slugs and caterpillars.
No other defined system of farming and food production comes close to delivering so many benefits for wildlife, society and the natural world. Organic farmers work to a strict set of standards, which must legally comply with strict EU regulation, to ensure that their farms sustain the health of;
Soils, ecosystems, animals and people
These standards are built on the key principles of organic agriculture;
Health, ecology, care and fairness.
Certification is legally required to grow, process or market organic products, and all organic farms and companies are inspected by a certification body, at least once a year. This means when you see the organic symbol, you can trust that the food and drink you buy has been made in a way that is better for people, animals and wildlife, and respects the natural environment.
