Visit an organic farm

If you would like to find out more about organic food and farming, why not visit an organic farm? The Soil Association has an extensive network of more than 100 farms across the UK who run special visits, open days and other public activities. New farms are joining all the time, and we have members who can show you everything from walled vegetable gardens to remote hill farms and even a vineyard.

Busman's holiday

Cat Laidlaw: Whoosh!! Did you see it!? That was August. In the blink of an eye the last summer month seems to have barely been and now we are suddenly gearing up for the autumn. Having started at the beginning of the growing season all I've known so far is sunshine, warm weather and long busy days of worker bee-like activity. But August did seem to bring with it a deep satisfactory breathe akin to finishing a good day's work and standing back to admire the results. Not that the task list has eased off, but with most things planted and in the ground, the weeds slightly slowing down, and a good old drizzly English summer (compared to the near drought conditions of when I started), the last couple of weeks have certainly had a transitional feel to them.
