I’ve taken my kids round all sort of organic dairies and after wandering about and meeting the cows & speaking with farmers we ended up sitting about and tucking into some of the finest ice cream I’ve ever tasted then looked at astonished with taste buds popping I didn’t even know I had.

This list should help you find a nice healthy Organic restaurant or Cafe where you are at.

Sorry about the UK centric nature of the listings, I am working on a adding a more international slant starting with New Zealand because its more convenient for me with it being where I’m at at the moment, however if you have a place you want listed add it to the comments at the bottom and I’ll get it in here.

demuths Vegetarian Resturant | Visit – web site | Demuths Restaurant, 2 North Parade Passage, off Abbey Green, Bath, BA1 1NX | map

Demuths is long established stalwart of the relatively small family of vegetarian and organic restaurants in the UK.
The food here is gourmet world food rather than the wholefood you often find in such restaurants. Rachel Demuth, the owner, has self-published three cookery books now and runs courses at The Vegetarian Cookery School.

There’s always a choice for vegans and the menu is well labelled with the different allergens/ingredients.

The deserts are usually sensational and they offer great organic wines and beers.

Book in advance, the restaurant is small and typically full Fri/Sat. Enjoy the wait for your food – it is all made fresh – while you snack on Hobbs house bread and olives and some great wine! | – Marc Palmer

Can’t beat the meat! Andy and his team are experienced and very helpful. I have an order almost every week packaged and delivered to my door. We have a full range of meat and condiments and deli items and his food ready for the barbeque is melt in the mouth and full flavoured. My children love his home made sausages and meat balls and i know I am giving my family the freshest meat that is fully organic and additive free. The bacon is fab and the steaks yummy! – Emma Herbert

You normally subscribe and get a delivery weekly and there is more often then no varying sizes of box depending on your needs. Its often a nice surprise as you often don’t know exactly what you will get, but fear not if you are allergic to marrow for example as you can often specify what you definitely don’t want to receive.

Organic produce doesn’t harm those growing it

Non-organic farm workers have unusually high rates of cancer, due to there exposure to herbicides, fungicides and  insecticides these are believed to be carcinogenic.

None of these chemicals are used in organic farming.

Organic food has more of the good stuff in it

A study done by the Journal of American Nutrition revealed that organic food contains from 10-250% more vitamins and minerals than non-organic food.

There are no GMO’s in Organic food

By default organic certification standards do not allow the use of genetically modified organisms.

Organic food tastes better.

Although difficult to prove scientifically it is hard to refute the evidence of experience, just taste an organic and an non organic apple in the same sitting and you will soon notice the difference. This may be because the Organic apple has probably reached you sooner after being picked because the non-organic can be left longer due to its chemical coat protecting it from going off, either way the taste of organic produce much much fresher then its non-organic distant cousin.

Organic farming works with nature not against it

As a result in Organic farming not using pesticides and herbicides killing off all manners of wee friendly besties the Britain’s Soil Association reported that organic farms have five times as many wild plants with as non-organic farms.

Organic farming is better for the soil

Non-organic farming techniques focus on chemical-intensive, mono-crop methods which have led to ever-increasing topsoil erosion. Organic farming techniques help to build soil on an ongoing basis thereby preventing topsoil erosion and organic soil contains up to twice as many beneficial microbes, earthworms and insects as non-organic soil.

Organic farming is better for the climate

Organic soil contains up to twice as many carbon storing microbes, earthworms and insects as non-organic soil storing up to 33% more carbon.
