This is not the blog post I was going to write. There was going to be a list of ways to make Christmas more eco-friendly and simple. But suddenly I didn’t want to write about that any more. There are many fantastic blogs and ideas online if you search, and of course, I think any […]
It’s Organic September, and this week on Social Media we have been asking the question- What does organic mean? And for me, another question is- how did it get mixed up with the word “Artisan?” I find it really intriguing that somehow these two words often get tangled up in relation to food. Artisan chocolate?

I think my rain dance worked! As much as I love the sun, it was a huge relief to see some rain this week, not least because it may mean we FINALLY get a good supply of broccoli and cauli. No organic strawberries to be found at the moment, but we have got plenty of […]

M e a l P l a n n e r s R e j o i c e ! A few of you have asked that we re-start our weekly list of fruit and veg to help with your meal planning. I applaud your organisation levels, so here we are! (For simplicity sake I […]
