Organic
Welcome to Organic - one of our "Food Issues" info pages (see menu to the right for other topics).
These Food Issues pages are designed to give you a little food for thought about some of the issues involved with sustainable eating.
Think of these pages as a taster for each issue:
just some brief info to introduce the concept and whet your appetite.
After sampling each issue, you may like to move onto the next "taster"or sink your teeth into some more substantial fare by using the links on each page.

Organic farming is all about using natural production methods to produce food.
It is more than just chemical-free production.
It is about keeping every step of the process "from paddock to plate" clean and green.
People choose organic for all sorts of reasons including concerns about their own health, the environment and animal welfare.

There is already lots of information available about organics - from far more expert people than us. So rather than replicating it here, we are providing a few links for you to look at.

Selected Producers
Mimsbrook Farm produces a wide variety of biodynamic fruit, vegetables and other organic foods. The family farm runs through Community Supported Agriculture which links the public with growers, connecting consumers to the source of their organic food. The grower contracts with a group of consumers like you to provide an agreed quantity and variety of freshly picked organic food for the entire season. The consumers agree to pay in advance for the season's output of organic food. Each week over the season they receive a share of whatever organic food is ready for harvest. This arrangement benefits both grower and consumer.
