Oopsy daisy, looks like I might have caused a little bit of offence by my pre-Christmas post which has been shared on a local group, as below, as some people have thought I was 'shaming' those folk that did buy really cheap fruit and veg in the supermarkets. By no means did I intend to 'shame' anyone. I understand that not everyone can afford organic and that's obviously ok, we all work to our own budgets, tastes, ethics etc. I can't afford to do my big shop in Booths but I don't feel shamed. I actually feel quite inspired - 2026 goals maybe. (Though our organic fruit and veg is considerably cheaper than Booths. Just saying). And I shop in Aldi etc so definitely no judgement!!
Absolutely no offence, shame, judgement was intended at all. I apologize to those who misinterpreted this.
I do however stand by my post in that most (if not all) non organic produce is sprayed with various chemicals and that selling at those prices undermines the graft of our British hard working farmers making it unsustainable. So at the risk of more people being potentially 'shamed', sorry, but I'd prefer to back British farming and raise awareness that consideration should be taken about what goes in and on our food.
Once again, my sincere apologies to those affected.
To those that want to invest in organic fruit and veg, fresh produce is coming in this Thursday.
