Organic / Local Food Policy
Our policy aligns with that of The Guest House Bistro who supply our frozen dinners. To us, organic certification is only what we resort to when we don't know the source directly; we believe buying organic produce that is uncertified, but local, is a much better option.
To explain, whilst local farmers and food producers might practice organic methods because they believe in it, obtaining organic certification is too expensive for most of these small-medium scale operators. Thereby the farmers who care the most about the land and the way that they farm it, are excluded by a system designed to favour large-scale agri-businesses that can afford to go through the certification process. Recognising this makes it even more important for us to support local food producers who do the right thing regardless, and being local has the added advantage that we can visit them and see for ourselves!
Plus, you can see through their websites that they all have a commitment to our wellbeing, their community; and to the environment they share with us, and not least you can tell by the quality and purity of their food that graces our tables. So if they say it's organic, we know we can trust them, and if they don't make the claim directly but provide enough information for that to be inferred, that works for us.
All animals are grass-fed, free-range, humanely raised and slaughtered.
