Organic Shopping

Organic Shopping

Can anyone list any good supermarket or organic food co-ops in northern England?

I do not want information on small grain foods and organic food stores (or conventional co-ops), thanks.

I know of a supermarket, but it is "Sum" a country wholesale grain foods company, which sells organic, vegetarian, vegan, meat, gluten-free and ethical. Buy from looking for house purchase in the catalog and place your order or go online. There is a minimum order, but shipping is usually free. And it works much cheaper than going to a supermarket, and to buy goods at prices non-commercial, supermarket prices. It is also one of the very few totally ethical companies in the United Kingdom ...

Description

Farmer’s Market Organic Pumpkin is rich, smooth and delicious, and ready to use for everything from baked delights to savory center of the plate entrees. Use it in a variety of recipes including pies, muffins, cookies, soups…even chili! The bright orange color is your first clue that our Organic Pumpkin is loaded with beta-carotene, which may help protect against heart disease, regulate blood-sugar, and reduce the severity of conditions such as asthma, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis with its anti-inflammatory effects. Also, Farmer’s Market Organic Pumpkin has large amounts of dietary fiber and antioxidants, is very low in fat and calories, and high in potassium. It also contains a fair amount of vitamin C and other nutrients such as niacin, vitamin E, calcium and iron.

Description

Several Asian cultures, believe that humanity emerged from a bamboo stem. An enduring natural resource, bamboo is also a critical element of the economy, an ancient medicine and integrally involved in culture and the arts. Bamboo is 100% biodegradable as it is naturally grown, without assistance from man, thriving naturally without using any pesticides or fertilizers. 100% sustainable, bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants in the world. The bamboo bags are 45% bamboo, 55% linen.

Dubbed the best value reusable bag on the market by the Wall Street Journal, and seen carried by the likes of Cameron Diaz and Kyra Sedgwick, Envirosax have revolutionized shopping bags with the perfect combination of eco-friendliness, style, and practicality. Envirosax, the original reusable designer shopping bags, are a funky and practical way to do your part to help the environment by reducing the ecological impact of single-use plastic bag waste whilst looking stylish at the same time.  A single Envirosax rolls up to be about the size of a piece of sushi and weighs only 1.4oz (about 40g). Singularly or in a pouch the bags are small enough and light enough to fit easily in your glove box, pocket or purse, so forgetting your green bags won’t be a problem anymore. The graphic series bags roll out to be 19.5” by 16.5” (49.5cm by 41.9cm), and can safely hold about 44lbs (20kg) thanks to the strong polyester fabric and reinforced seams. The bags are waterproof, and the eco-friendly inks used on the bags (in a range of rich solid colors and attractive patterns) won’t run when the bag is washed. Envirosax bags are a great alternative to accepting plastic grocery bags whenever you go to the shop. The less plastic bags you use, the less there are to be found in the stomachs of sea turtles, wrapped around the heads of seabirds, or clogging drains and causing flooding. Did you know that due to the chemical nature of standard plastic grocery bags they never decompose? Did you also know that a single Envirosax bag can hold 2 of these grocery bags worth of goods, and so could save the environment from hundreds or even thousands of plastic bags every year. Belinda and Mark David-Tooze, a couple committed to sustainable living and minimizing human environmental impacts, founded Envirosax in 2004. This commitment is evident in their own lifestyle, as well as their clever bag design. The David-Toozes live off the grid, using photovoltaic cells for their electricity needs, water collected from rain-tanks, and they grow their own organic fruit and vegetables on their rainforest property. Proceeds from Envirosax are used to support conservation groups such as the Australian Marine Conservation Society, the Surfrider Foundation and the Royal Forest and Bird Protection Society of New Zealand.

Description

Many cities are eliminating plastic shopping (checkout) bags, but they have failed to address the fact that on most trips to the market we also use 6 to 8 plastic produce bags. Our Reusable Mesh Produce Bags eliminate the need for plastic bags. They are made of UNBLEACHED ORGANIC COTTON material. Although higher in cost, unbleached organic cotton provides huge benefits to the environment and our health, because it avoids the highly toxic pesticides, fertilizers and processing chemicals used in regular cotton crops. Reusable Mesh Bags are great for fruits and vegetables. The mesh fabric is highly stretchable and allows for easy identification of contents. They can be used for both shopping and storage, as the cotton material allows for excellent air circulation. Easy to care for, just wash in cold water and line dry. Expect about 10-20% shrinkage on the first wash. The mesh material will stretch back out to near the prewashed size when filled with produce. For smaller bulk produce see our Organic Cotton Reusable Produce Bags, made of solid muslin sheeting.

Features

  • 3 Pack - Large (12 in. x 15 in.) bag with drawstring, the same size as plastic produce bags.
  • Made of 1/8 in. tight-mesh UNBLEACHED ORGANIC COTTON (natural and biodegradable) NOT POLYESTER (a synthetic plastic fiber made from oil)
  • Sewn in tare weight tag makes checkout credit easy. The checker just subtracts the bag weight from the total weight.
  • The perfect bag for fruits, vegetables and larger bulk items.
  • Great for storing produce in the refrigerator or pantry.
