🌱 Simple ways to go organic in your everyday baking and cooking🌱

Making the switch to organic doesn't have to be complicated. In fact, with just a few simple swaps and tips, you can bring sustainably-grown ingredients into your everyday meals and bakes. Here's our top tips!

🌱 Start with staples: Switch out common store cupboard items like flour and sugar for their organic versions. These basic ingredients are used often, so making them organic can significantly reduce exposure to pesticides.

🌱 Begin with making just one meal organic: Choosing organic ingredients for just one meal in your day is a great way of starting your organic lifestyle. Why not choose to make breakfast organic and opt for one of our delicious wholegrain breakfast cereals with your favourite organic milk?

🌱 Choose organic dairy and eggs: Opt for organic milk, butter, cheese, and eggs where you can. These items are often easy to find and can make a big difference in the quality and taste of your baked goods and meals.

🌱 Opt for seasonal and local produce: Buy organic fruits and vegetables, focusing on seasonal and locally grown options. Produce that's in-season tends to be more affordable and fresher, which is perfect for cooking and baking.

🌱 Grow your own: Start a small herb garden at home. Growing organic basil, parsley, or thyme is easy and provides fresh, pesticide-free flavours for your dishes.

🌱 Batch cook (and bake!) with organic ingredients: Buy organic ingredients in bulk when they're on sale and batch-cook meals. Similarly, if you're baking, double up the recipes and freeze some for another time. This will help you save money while keeping your meals healthy and organic throughout the week.

What else would you add? We'd love to hear your tips!

The best way to support restorative, regenerative and sustainable farming is to choose food labelled organic. Organic is always truly regenerative: it is a whole farm approach and incorporates multiple restorative practices like building soil fertility and working in harmony with nature.

Organic is not a new thing (indeed, at Doves Farm we’ve been farming organically for nearly five decades) and has a clear definition with a strict set of UK and international standards which are legally defined and have to be met by organic farmers through rigorous annual inspections. This comes with accreditation – such as the Soil Association certification – which is a symbol of trust and integrity and guarantees the highest standards of environmental welfare and protects against greenwashing.

Did you know that organic farming creates a healthier environment for wildlife? 🐦🐝🦋 By avoiding harmful pesticides and synthetic fertilizers, organic farms provide safe habitats for pollinators like bees, butterflies, and birds.

More biodiversity means stronger ecosystems, healthier soils, and natural pest control—no chemicals needed! Plus, organic farms, like ours, often leave wild areas untouched, giving wildlife even more space to thrive.

41% of Britain’s wildlife species have declined since 1970 and more than one in ten are currently facing extinction. Intensive farming practices, especially the wide spread use of chemical pesticides, have been identified as the primary drivers of these declines. Now more than ever, supporting organic producers is a crucial step to helping protect our wildlife.

Did you know that organic farming is a sustainable solution to helping slow down climate change? 🌾🌎

Organic farms do not use synthetic fertilisers which come from burning fossil fuels, and, on average, organic farms use less energy than non-organic farms, due to their avoidance of these fertilisers.

Organic farmland also stores more carbon than non-organic farmland – on average 3.5 tonnes extra for every hectare. (a saving equivalent to driving your car around the world almost one and a half times! ). Adopting nature-friendly organic farming along with other key changes to our food system could help keep global warming below 2°C.

Healthy soils help retain water, support biodiversity, sequester carbon and produce our food crops. Organic farming practices focus on nurturing soil health and building soil fertility naturally through methods like crop rotation and composting. As a result, organic farms have a more diverse range of microbes living in the soil and this helps crops grow without spreading artificial fertiliser on the land. Soil health is crucial to a sustainable food system and our planet’s health, and it has never been more important to farm in a way that restores and refreshes our soil after each crop is produced.

🌾 Flour made in harmony with nature, and never against it 🌾

Organic flour that's made with nature in mind. Here's how:

🌾 No synthetic chemicals – organic farmers rely on natural methods, avoiding harmful pesticides and fertilisers.

🌾 Builds soil fertility – organic farming focuses on nourishing the soil with compost, crop rotation, and cover crops, promoting biodiversity and preserving ecosystems.

🌾Protects pollinators – by avoiding harmful chemicals, organic farms create a havens for bees and other essential pollinators.

🐝🌾 Organic food is always grown without the use of artificial pesticides, fertilisers and herbicides 🌾🐝

In fact, organic farmers are able to use a very limited number of naturally derived pesticides – like citronella and clove oil – which are only permitted under very restricted circumstances. This means when you bake with organic flour or choose organic foods you reduce your exposure to a cocktail of harmful chemicals that can make their way into the food chain. It is also a positive step for the environment because artificial agricultural inputs and chemicals can pollute our soils and water ways, harm our wildlife and sometimes leave an unwanted residue on crops.
