Our Aim:- To Provide - “Produce as Nature Intended”
We also want to encourage people to shop and eat locally produced food, so..
In a relaxed and friendly atmosphere we guarantee to provide only the best in Certified Organic and Bio-Dynamic produce.
In the first instance we source locally, believing it is environmentally sound to support local organic farm production. Secondly we source from Queensland and then wider Australia. Our belief is to provide food that is free from harmful chemicals, and that is full of goodness and health giving benefits.
Benefits of eating Organic…….
Healthy, tasty and nutritious food*
Better health from reduced consumption of chemicals
Soil has increased levels of valuable nutrients our bodies need to stay healthy.
Farming that is environmentally friendly leading to a greater diversity of local birds, butterflies and plants
Meat that contains no antibiotics or added hormones. Animals are reared in more natural conditions with their welfare and health a priority.
Products free of additives, artificial colouring and flavourings.
GM free
No irradiation
Organic farmers plant green manures, make compost, rotate crops and under sow crops with clover to increase organic matter in soil, rebuilding top soil and providing better water retention and soil fertility.
* A recent comprehensive UK study conducted over a 4 year period has found eating organic plant based food contained as much as 40% more antioxidants than conventional food. Scientists believe this can cut the risk of cancer and heart disease.
** Organic farming principles support the sustainability of our land and waterways by reducing the need to use artificial fertilizers and chemicals.
