What Is Organic?

Here are some of organic farming's main features:

• Organic farming severely restricts the use of artificial chemical fertilisers and pesticides
• Instead, organic farmers rely on developing a healthy, fertile soil and growing a mixture of crops
• Animals are reared without the routine use of drugs, antibiotics and wormers common in intensive livestock farming

The word organic is defined by law. Any food labelled organic must meet a strict set of standards.’

Look for the Soil Association symbol for your guarantee of the highest organic standards.
