Independents Across the UK Set to Dish Up Free Organic Breakfasts

The breakfasts will be served as part of the Organic Trade Board’s Wake Up To Organic campaign, which aims to spread awareness of the benefits of choosing organic produce and to encourage more consumers to taste organic food.

Over 100 independent shops have already signed up to the event, however organisers from the Organic Trade Board are setting their sights on getting around 200 stores involved.

Catherine Fookes, campaign manager at the Organic Trade Board said, “Building on the success of Wake Up To Organic last year, we know the campaign is a great opportunity for independent retailers to communicate directly with their customers and help change attitudes to organic.”

David Greenman, co-owner of Arch House Deli said, “At last year’s Wake Up To Organic we provided a free bowl of organic muesli with organic milk with every hot drink, and this year we’ll probably come up with something slightly different, but just as tasty.

“Some products are easier to change than others, for example, rather than buying a processed cheddar and pre-packed blue cheese, next time try Godminster Cheddar and Bath Blue. Both organic, local and delicious.”
