Organic September, the UK’s month long celebration of all things organic, began today and looks set to be the country’s biggest ever organic promotion.
The Soil Association coordinated promotion – which this year features the strapline ‘Organic YOUR September’ – is designed to raise the profile of organic in the UK and shine a light on the amazing organic farmers, producers and brands who work hard to produce food as it should be.
Independent retailers up and down the country will be holding special in-store events – from food and drink tastings to organic afternoon tea – while organic farms will open their gates to the public and stage special organic farmers’ markets. Brands will also be getting in on the act, staging their own in-store tastings to a brewery ‘tap takeover’.
The Soil Association has also made a special Organic September film featuring leading figures from the UK organic scene – view it here.
The Soil Association will host a trade briefing on Tuesday, 19 September, to reveal the organic market’s growth figures between March and September 2017. The event will highlight the changing face of organic retail in the UK, including presentations from some of the best performing and most innovative organic brands in the UK
