Organic Produce
Organic production makes use of natural rather than chemical methods to control pests and fertilise the land, prohibits the use of genetically modified material, avoids environmental pollution and helps regenerate and protect wildlife on the farm. Only a restricted number of additives can be used in food manufacturing; for example, all artificial flavourings and sweeteners are banned. Dependent on the produce type e.g. milk, grain, beef, farms have to undergo at least a two year conversion period before full organic status is achieved.
Soil Association Certified
The Soil Association symbol represents organic certification and is one of
the most widely used and recognised mark of organic authenticity amongst
food manufacturers, retailers and consumers. To find out more, visit
