Five, Six - Pick up sticks!!

Not to be put off by the weather this weekend, the family managed to make a trip out to some local woodland to collect fallen sticks and kindling. Managed to get quite a reasonable haul - just have to wait for it to dry out now!!

Busy, Busy, Busy!!

Well, where do I start? It has been a very hectic few months here at Greener by Nature, with lots of changes going on behind the scenes, hence the inactivity on the Blog!! I have been busy tying up lose ends in my other job to make the leap and commit myself full-time to Greener by Nature. Very exciting and a life change for the whole family - in a good way!!

Soil Association Organic Fortnight 5-20 September

This year’s Soil Association Organic Fortnight (5-20 September 2009) will focus on why organic products offer great value for both your wallet and for the planet. As thrifty shoppers look to make every pound go further, the benefits of going organic on a budget stretch far beyond great-tasting, additive-free food and drink.
Organic is first choice for consumers who want products which don't just taste, look or feel good, but which are environmentally-friendly, ethical, healthy and have the highest animal welfare standards in the UK too. To understand why organic offers genuine good value check out our ten good reasons to choose organic and to make your shopping basket work harder check out our ten top ways to go organic on a budget.Pass it on: for those passionate about the issues they can raise awareness of the benefits by hosting an ‘Organic credit crunch dinner’ for friends.

Soil Association Organic Fortnight kicks off with the Organic Food Awards – a celebration of the very best in organic food and drink. If this whets your appetite, the winners will be exhibiting at the Organic Food Festival 2009, Europe’s largest showcase of all things organic, on the 12 & 13 September, at Bristol Harbourside.
