Organic Week 2005

From the 3rd to the 11th of September it's Organic Week, brought to you by the Soil Association and sponsored by Hambledon Herbs, Whole Earth and Highland Spring.

The aim is to promote organic food to those people who haven't tried it yet. There's lots of events taking place all over the country including wine tasting, farm walks and coffee mornings.

Want to know how you can help? See their "10 things to do" list. I've bought a whole load of British grown organic veg this week. There's loads available at the moment - lettuce, plum tomatoes, carrots, peppers and celery. It certainly made for a tasty salad this evening. This weekend, I hope to visit an organic farm as part of Organic Experience Weekend (10th and 11th September).

Get involved! The more we vote with our feet, the sooner we will have a better countryside with only organic farms producing our food. For more information, visit the Why Organic? site.
