organic milk and dairy products |
The Organic Milk Suppliers Cooperative is a cooperative of 300 British farmers who supply organically produced milk and dairy products to Sainsbury's, Tesco, Waitrose, Safeway and Asda. This milk may be higher in Omega 3 and Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) than non-organic milk. Omega 3 is essential for maintaining a healthy heart, supple and flexible joints, healthy growth and strong bones and teeth. CLA boosts immune function and reduces the growth of tumours. Non-organic milk may have pesticide residues which affects child health. The National Farmers' Union claim that supermarkets have increased their share of the retail price of milk. In 1995 a litre of milk cost 42.1p, of which 24.5p went to the farmer. In 2005 a litre cost 50.9p, of which the farmers got only 18.5p. |

Organic meat |
Snoad Farm in Kent produces lamb and pork for sale to the public all year at a Farmers Market each Saturday, and free range bronze turkeys for Christmas. The pigs and sheep are reared naturally in grass paddocks. This organic food bought by you locally will not add to the world's pollution by being transported hundreds of miles from the producer via the seller to your home, and it will not have pesticide or other chemical residues for you to accumulate in your body. |
