Real Food

See our GM ingredients guide listed below. Buying Local Organic Food Look out for the Soil Association logo to be certain of organic produce. Avoid Food Miles by buying produce from Devon. Buying Fair Trade products Many products from abroad can appear cheap because of the use of slave labour. Fair Trade products guarantee a decent wage, and puts money back into the local community. Shopping locally Shop at the supermarket less, and use your local stores more often. Buying Direct Use Farm Shops more often. Consider using a local Veg Box scheme. Visit your local Farmers Market. There are 17 in Devon. Growing your own The one way to be sure that you can trust what you're eating.
