Good Reasons for going Organic

Ensures the survival of endangered wildlife
Organic farmers are committed to preserving our delicate ecosystem. Because they rely on natural predators rather than on chemicals to control pests, organic farmers maintain the hedgerows, meadows and other natural habitats upon which Britain 's wildlife depends

Preserves the soil's fertility for future generations
Organic farmers use natural animal and plant wastes to prevent nutrient loss and they maintain the long term quality of the soil by frequently rotating their crops.

Improves water quality
By cutting the fertiliser and pesticide pollution of our streams and rivers, the purity of the waterways we share with fish, otters and other mammals is slowly being restored, making it safer for all to drink and bathe in.

Protects the health of farm workers
Organic farming substantially lowers exposure to chemicals like organophosphates, which have blighted many rural lives in recent years.

Reduces potentially harmful chemical residues in your food
Over 600 chemicals are currently permitted by the European Community in conventional farming. Although testing has taken place, many were approved when scrutiny was comparatively lax. Even current testing does not adequately investigate the long term effect of low doses or the ‘cocktail' effect of different pesticides used together. These chemicals may be absorbed when food is growing and they are not always removed by washing or peeling.

Enriches your nutrition
Many people believe that food grown organically is richer in essential fibre, vitamins and minerals and that it tastes better. 'Just as the plant cannot derive full nourishment from an ill-nourished soil, so the plant conveys inadequate nourishment and defective resistance to disease to the animal that ingests it, and consequently to the human being that subsists on both.' Viscount Bledisloe, Parliamentary Secretary to MAFF 1940

Free of Genetically Modified Organisms
Although the long term effects of genetically modified food are unclear, leading scientists and other public figures have warned of its potential dangers to human and animal life. Once released into the environment they can never be recalled. Better to be safe than sorry. Promotes high animal welfare standards Animals that are raised in a free range environment are happier and healthier as they are allow to express their natural behaviour patterns. On an organic farm the animals themselves are nourished with organic food and there is no routine use of antibiotics or growth promoting hormones.
