CUMBRIA Organics has produced an eye-catching leaflet about organic food production and how to buy it direct from the producer.
It can be found at Farmers' Markets, tourist information centres, libraries and from Cumbria Organics members.
The number of farmers and growers producing organically certified food in Cumbria has reduced in recent years. This is due to a number of factors such as the costs involved, changes in organic regulations and a reduction in the organic lines stocked by supermarkets
The annual general meeting of Cumbria Organics- formed 15 years ago - will be held on February 4 at the CREA offices, near Penrith, starting at 6.30pm.
