National Organic Week is almost upon us. While it is aimed more at the consumer than the producer, some of those hosting Teagasc organic farm walks also do events during National Organic Week. An example is Castlefarm in Kildare on the 19th September.
National Organic Week will include the National Organic Awards, as well as events in at least 18 counties. There are an array on display for the week, from cookery demos and meet the producer events to walks, talks and tastings.
Two quirky farmers market events include: organic pig on a spit in Carlow farmers market (19th September) and the organic food quiz in Mahon Point's farmers market (ongoing).
Simply Organic, the organic fresh fruit and vegetable distributors, are hosting what will surely be a thought provoking series: a schools organic food forum in various Wicklow Schools.
There are also a range of events orgnaised by the Organic Centre in Leitrim, incorporating community gardening, their women's horticulture group and cross border events.
As autumn approaches and then arrives, there really is no excuse not to get out there and get interacting with your local organic community.
