More about the prize
To understand the benefits of organic is to understand the need to incorporate it into all aspects of our lives. This doesn't have to end when we take time out because it is possible to find organic produce all over the UK. So next time you get away in the UK, why not check out the Holiday Organic guide on the Soil Association website? It’ll show you where you can stay that provides, or is very close to the provision of organic food, so your holiday need not be a break from good, sustainable food.
Around two thirds of the places listed offer meals, usually breakfast, but lunches and evening meals are often available as well. Many of these places have their own small restaurant, a few of which are certified organic, and others may have a certified organic kitchen garden or orchard. All certification for the places listed are from the Soil Association.
Meals are prepared using local organic produce whenever possible. On average this will be at least 50% organic, but many of the places offer a much higher percentage, up to 100% organic. Quite a few of them grow their own produce, some use wild or natural foods, and most will aim to use fresh local produce rather than imported food.
The rest of the places are self-catering on organic farms or smallholdings. At these places you'll find information about the availability of organic food - for example whether you can buy the farm's own organic produce, have an organic vegetable box delivered, or find organic produce in the local area.
