MICHAEL Pollan is interviewed on the various aspects of organic food and farming. This report covers common sense arguments and questions often asked. See interview
ERROL and Irma Seymour of Drovers Rest Farm and Organic Fine Food Company in Bridgetown, Western Australia, produce a range of certified organic products from fresh to processed. They have recently been named as a finalist in two categories of the 2009 Food Challenge Award for their ‘kidSnak’ organic fruit snack. At the 2008 National Environmental Management System Forum in Newcastle, NSW, Errol and Irma were presented with the merit award for the farmer category of the EMS awards and were runners-up in the premier award for this category. .
WESTERN Australian producers and makers offer to the market biodynamic, organic and conventionally-farmed foods. This list of producers and makers is not exclusive. It ranges from those whose foods are produced to Slow Food’s good, clean and fair principles and those selected to participate in Terra Madre: World Meeting of Food Communities in Turin, Italy, in October 2006, 2008 and 2010, to producers farming or harvesting conventionally but in a sustainable way. Slow Food Perth encourages members and consumers to seek out these foods from farmers’ markets and retailers.
If you know of producers and makers who should be listed, please email us. To be considered for inclusion, farmers and makers’ foods must taste good; their production methods must be clean, respecting animals, the environment and people’s health; and all participants producing the food must enjoy fair reward for their work.
