Ok, I seem to be getting v bloggy at the mo, but I've decided to tell you about some of the links I've put over there on your left.
I'll just do some of the Irish foodie ones for now:
greatfood.ie is big, non-biased and full of Irish foodie news. There's an organic tab there too, with standalone organic foodie articles
Plan organic is in many ways the origin of the species when it comes to organic food sites....not as regularly updated as it was, but this place has been the standard-bearer for organic news and views with an irish twist for many moons. Great archive for organic info from 2000-2004 esp
Glenisk dairies are Ireland's leading organic company, and have big plans - for Ireland and the world! Their site will probably be a central part of this process, and has a whole range of areas - farmer profiles, press section, a (potential) blog, a parenting section with many experts, a 'why organic' secton...this site has a lot of potential and is already v useful...
amanda's blog is an irish foodie blog focused primarily on organics. Which is great! Amanda runs an organic hamper company, and finds the time to get her organic wanderings (e.g. electric picnic) and musings (how do you know its organic?) out there....
organic matters is the site of an irish organic food and farming magazine. This mag has a long and quite amazing history, which I must tell y'all about some time. However, a brief history: 1976 - a muddy field in north leitrim, a festival... some blow-in, pure as the driven snow hippies decide to print a mag....the mag expands, history moves on, new people come, occasional 'musical differences' occur, and the mag eventually spawns another mag - about 15 years later...the original mag was common ground, and organic matters is the one that has survived the longest (common ground ended in 1996 - it ran for 20 yrs only once missing a print run, and according to an editor i interviewed a couple of years ago, at one stage in the early 1980s had 2,000 subscriptions - twice what Vogue had at the time).
Anyhoo, more on this history stuff later - organic matters site carries lots of organic feature articles.
then, further down and away from the organic irish ones at the top, there's a pure foodie one, which will lead you into loads of other pure foodie one's too...it's the slightly strangely-titled humble housewife blog . This really is a foodie blog!
Happy meandering!
