Organic Living – something new or something old?
December 2nd, 2009 -- Posted in News | No Comments »I grew up in a farm in the middle of the Lake District where we grew our own veg, we had cows and sheep that went to slaughter every year (and then fully stocked the freezer!), we had chickens for eggs, my Mum baked like a dream, we re-used everything possible (very little plastic in the house)… we lived fairly organically without it being the latest fashionable thing.
So why is there do much hype about living organically?
An awful lot of people stuck to traditional ways of raising family s, and it is only recently (the last 20-30 years) that the ability to buy processed food more conveniently than making it from scratch, has become so popular.
And now we are told it isn’t good for us. But it has grown into such a massive industry, that creates so many jobs and contributes so greatly to the economy, that if we lost it, surely we would never get out of this economic slump?
