Eating organic food helps your body and the environment. The whole process of organic farming works with nature rather than against it. Farmers nurture natural predators that help to control pests. Fertilisation is done using time tested methods such as rotation of crops.
The Government, their statutory advisors (English Nature, the Environment Agency) and NGOs, including the RSPB, say in the Organic Action Plan that organic farming has environmental benefits. The government stated that organic farming is better for wildlife, causes lower pollution from sprays, produces less carbon dioxide and less dangerous wastes, has high animal welfare and increases jobs in the countryside.
We deliver our produce in Jute bags which is an attractive natural golden fibre, the bags we use last a lot longer than the boxes commonly used in box schemes. Jute fibre is 100% bio-degradable and recyclable and thus environmentally friendly.
