Organic Food (Midlands/Eastern England)
Artisan Organic Co
We source produce from local organic farmers but also supply a large variety of locally produced and traditionally made foods, craft work, natural and fair trade products.
Green Policies
Organic
Organic farmers and growers are registered and inspected and certified by regulating bodies such as the Soil Association or Organic Farmers & Growers. Anything labelled organic has therefore been grown or produced to comply with strict organic guidelines.
Local
Most of our fresh organic fruit & vegetables are grown within 50 miles of our warehouse. We source produce from farmers and growers in Staffordshire, Shropshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, and Warwickshire.
Packaging
Our objective is to reduce waste wherever possible. Consumer packaging is a significant part of the municipal solid waste which we want to reduce. Cardboard boxes and paper bags are used wherever possible and plastic carrier bags are fully biodegradable. Packaging is kept to a minimum. Boxed deliveries enable us to minimise the use of inner packaging and plastics. We recycle 100% of our old wood, cardboard packaging, printer cartridges and paper.
Waste
All waste must be disposed of with the least impact on the environment. At Artisan Organic Co. we aim to generate as little waste as possible. In some cases we are not yet able to reduce or recycle waste. Then there is no other option then to dispose of it by landfill. In case we are unable to sell surplus food products, we aim to donate in the most socially beneficial way.
