Buy one more organic item as part of your weekly shop
Did you know organic farmers avoid artificial fertilisers and chemical pesticides? Instead, they rely on natural methods to control weeds whilst maintaining soil fertility and wildlife.
You can put nature first at home by swapping one dairy item in your weekly shop for an organic alternative.
Make Your Empty Butter Tubs into a Wild Flower Oasis
Did you know we’re planting 4 Tiny Forests across the UK?
Whilst we don’t expect you to plant a forest in your garden, a plant pot (or butter tub!) of native wildflowers in an outside space provides pollinators and insects with shelter and food from leaves, pollen and nectar.
If you do have extra room, planting a small tree can also create a safe haven for animals to thrive!
Swap 1 Dairy Product for an Organic Alternative
Did you know that Organic cows are free-range, so for as long as the weather allows, they can graze lush pastures and roam outside to their heart’s content. Thanks for choosing organic and putting nature first.
Freeze your Leftovers!
Did you know…6.6 million tonnes of The UK’s food gets thrown away every year?
Our next simple swap is to avoid food waste by freezing your leftovers or food straight from the supermarket to use at a later date.
You can safely freeze our Milk, Butter and Cheese products.
Turn your food waste into compost instead!
Did you know that food waste has a significant impact on climate change, contributing 8-10% of total man – made greenhouse gases?
By composting your food waste, you’re helping to stop it go into landfills and incinerators,
It’s also great for your flowers!
Swap single-use containers for recyclable packaging
Did you know that using recycled plastic reduces the carbon footprint of a product by up to 75%?
All our 2 Litre Organic Milk bottles contain up to 50% recycled content and are fully recyclable! You can now recycle our Buttery and Spreadable packaging too! Thanks for helping to close the loop.
Together let’s recycle and put nature first.
Make sure your fridge temperature is turned to 5C
Swap your throwaway coffee cup for a reusable one!
Did you know people in the UK throw away 2.5 billion coffee cups each year?
