ABOUT THE ORGANIC FOOD FESTIVAL

'The purpose of the Organic Food Festival is to bring together and expand our organic community. We want to introduce more people to the pioneers growing delicious organic food, items for home and garden, beautiful fibres and sumptuous beauty products in a way that is truly sustainable. The Organic Food Festival 2009 is a highlight of the Soil Association’s Organic Fortnight.'

Eat

'Eat your way through the street food market and sample hundreds of new treats throughout the food pavilions. And to quench your thirst, stop by the Organic Bar or stock up on the organic wines, ales and ciders available for you to take home. Stop by the Bordeaux Quay Cooking Demonstrations, where the support of Triodos Bank has made it possible for Britain’s renowned chefs to come and demonstrate just how simple and affordable organic cooking can be.'
