| Dear Customer, In an age when one food scandal follows another, more and more people are turning to organics. Being vegetarian, and keen to eat organically myself, I noticed how difficult it was to regularly obtain a good range of fresh organic produce. I was also concerned that so much of our beautiful island is being ravaged by intensive farming methods. Our flora and wildlife are in decline; and thousands of miles of hedgerows and meadow are uprooted each year, turning our once green and pleasant land into chemically-sodden prairies. I set up farmaround from small beginnings in South London in order to offer Londoners freshly harvested organic produce delivered straight to their doorstep and with a desire to encourage and support small organic farmers. We are currently engaged in a project involving the Heritage Seed Library to try and revive some of the old and unusual varieties of fruit and vegetables that are no longer commercially grown and which face extinction. They are a feature of our fresh produce bags during the English season. We are proud to support and be associated with Compassion in World Farming and their tremendous work as they strive to gain a better life for farm animals. They are working both here and across the globe to end factory farming and the cruel, unnecessary live export of animals. All of us at farmaround endeavour to provide you with the best quality of produce and the best possible service that we can. As demand for organics increases, so more land will be converted back to organic methods. Fertile soils, clean running streams, meadows full of wild flowers and hedgerows teeming with wildlife will no longer just be the image of our past but the image of our future. Thank you for your interest in farmaround. If you decide to place an order with us, I do hope that you enjoy your organic food, safe in the knowledge that it has been produced in a way that enhances your well-being and regenerates our countryside. Best wishes.  Isobel Davies Founder |
