AN ORGANIC DISCOVERY!
Whilst doing some research for my business pitch for 'Oh My Cod' I discovered Lyncroft Farm in Ormskirk.

Lyncroft Farm is a local farm, just six miles away from Formby, supplying locally produced organic foods. They run an organic veg box scheme with prices ranging from £10 for a small box containing seven vegetable crops to £18 for a family box containing seven vegetable crops, five fruit crops and twelve organic eggs. Free-range of course!

I think that's exceptionally good value, especially when you consider that organic food contains more vitamins and minerals than non-organic food and is more environmentally friendly to boot. Not to mention the much reduced food miles compared to supermarket produce that has more often than not had something of a world tour.

SALAD. BUT AT WHAT COST?
I've just made myself a delicious free-range chicken and pesto salad with a bag of Sainsbury's organic seasonal baby leaf salad. This seasonal salad came from the UK, Kenya, Portugal, Italy, USA and Spain in a non recyclable bag. What's so seasonal about that?

So, my choice to try and protect the environment and my food from chemicals has resulted in at least five flights, countless food miles and a plastic bag that will still be here in a few centuries time.

It makes you think why bother. Am I doing more harm than good?

ORGANIC PEAS - THE FINAL STRAW?
The Christmas holidays finally came to an end today and I moved back to my flat at University. The organic meteor peas I planted a few weeks ago have sprouted! I've built them a small structure to climb up out of orange straws and waterered them a little.

Something has sprouted in another pot of mine too, but I cannot remember what I planted. I think it's garlic, but it could be anything.
