Perfect for anyone who wants an organic lifestyle."

Synopsis: "The Organic Directory" is the only UK directory of organic goods, with over 2,000 listings of retailers, producers, wholesalers and manufacturers. It combines factual details (name, address, website, email, phone and fax) with descriptions of the goods available, including specific products for which a supplier is known. Each entry includes clear symbols as to kind of products sold, whether the outlet offers mail order, etc. In addition, the introductory section of the Directory includes articles on all aspects of organic living, from current topics of debate (local v organic) to certification. It gives you a county-by-county picture of organic produce as well as: informative articles on organic living; explanation of the labelling of organic produce, and terms like 'biodynamic' and 'permaculture'; where to eat organic, and accommodation serving organic food; organic days out and educational organisations; veg box schemes and farmers markets; and organic clothes, household goods and cleaners.
