STAFFORDSHIRE'S LOCAL ORGANIC BOX SCHEME

The Organic Box Company is located at Wolseley Bridge in Stafford and we are committed to supplying customers in Staffordshire with top quality organic fruit, vegetables, meat, fish and groceries, sourced as locally as possible! We operate a local box scheme and we also wholesale to pubs, restaurants and hotels.

Because we care about people eating healthy, tastier food and about our fragile environment, our company supplied organic vegetables, meat and fruit for the 2007 BBC3 series Outrageous Wasters.

WHY BUY ORGANIC?

To help to keep you and your family healthy and to protect the planet on which we live, organic fruit, vegetables & all other organically produced foods do not contain a cocktail of potentially harmful pesticide residues. They also have on average 50% more vitamins, minerals and other micro -nutrients than intensively farmed produce.

Organic produce is also GM free and that’s got to be a huge plus. Eating organic food is the only practical way to avoid eating genetically modified (GM) food. And by buying organic food, you are registering your mistrust of GMO’s and doing your bit to protest against them.

Check out our Order Meat page on the website as about 99% of non-organic farm animals in the UK are now fed GM soya. There has never been a reported case of BSE in organic cattle in the UK. Common sense says that organic is safe food.

Locally produced food is also healthier. The time taken for the food to get from harvest to table is minimised, therefore retaining more of the nutrients and cutting down on transportation costs and damage to the environment.

Thankfully lots more people are now choosing to buy organic food. Sales have risen by 30% in the last year!

We think the number one reason is growing awareness of the issues addressed in the Soil Association report (see above) and the increasing desire to support our local communities.

But we should also consider our bodies and our health ……...

We all know the importance of getting our 5-a-day, but eating five organic fruit and vegetables a day is even better. A non-organic apple can be sprayed up to 16 times with 36 different chemicals, many of which simply cannot be washed off. The latest Government tests carried out found pesticides in 44% of non-organic fruit and vegetables samples. The results were even worse for non-organic apples, with 80% of samples containing pesticides. 150 of the commonly used pesticides are potentially cancer causing!

On average, organic food contains higher levels of vitamin C and essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron and chromium as well as cancer-fighting antioxidants. Organic food doesn't contain food additives which can cause health problems such as heart disease, osteoporosis, migraines and hyperactivity. Amongst the additives banned by the Soil Association are hydrogenated fat, aspartame (artificial sweetener) and monosodium glutamate. Over 400 chemical pesticides are routinely used in conventional farming and residues are often present in non-organic food. The UK government has recently found high levels of pesticide residues in baby food, spinach, dried fruit, bread, apples, celery, and chips.

The last, but certainly not least reason is that the taste is wonderful, so different from the non organic equivalent. It tastes like food used to taste years ago, as if you have picked it from your own garden.
