National Organic Week has been held annually since 2005. It is funded by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and co-ordinated by Bord Bia on behalf of Organic Focus. National Organic Week 2012 aims to continue to raise consumer awareness of the benefits of organic produce and increase the frequency of consumption of locally produced organic food. Cooking a tasty meal for friends and family with in-season organic ingredients is an ideal way to treat your loved ones and enjoy the freshest produce sourced in your local region.
National Organic Week provides an ideal opportunity for organic producers and processors to organise events at a national and local level to highlight local organic products. This year throughout the week producers, retailers and farmers markets will host more than 50 events nationwide including organic farm walks, cookery demonstrations, organic BBQs, harvest feasts and picnics, complimentary in store sampling and tastings, allotment tours and talks.
