JANUARY 25, 2008: Garden Organic has joined forces with the Soil Association to help
farmers account for the loss of produce during this year’s wet growing
season.

Garden Organic said: “The summer weather caused havoc for growers, and, with fruit and veg supplies becoming sporadic and unpredictable, businesses are in danger of going under.

“New pricing information is available for growers to cost out their harvest appropriately.”

More growers are needed to supply pricing information in confidence. Call Phil Sumption on 024 7630 8200 or email psumption@gardenorganic.org.uk
