There's much more to organic than simply the food you put on your plate.
A getaway at one of the UK’s many organic farms is a great option if you’re looking for sustainable travel and fantastic food, in beautiful locations.
Many of our certified farms have opened their gates for holidays across the UK.
Often in areas of outstanding beauty, organic farms are a haven for wildlife, home to an average of 30 percent more species - so if you're a nature lover or a bird-watcher, a farm stay could be perfect for you.
Experience a unique stay in a cosy shepherds hut (sleeps 2), on the UK's only organic duck egg farm.
