That’s the message of this year’s month-long Organic September campaign and Tolhurst Organic have exciting plans for their certified organic business.

The team at Tolhurst Organic are delighted to be getting involved in this year’s Organic September campaign, an all-industry campaign to grow the organic market, coordinated by Soil Association Certification and the Organic Trade Board alongside industry partners from across the organic sector.

The key message of this year’s campaign encourages citizens to listen to nature and choose organic. Tolhurst Organic are excited to outline how their certified organic business supports nature, protects wildlife and safeguards healthy soils by hosting the Farm Hack on 2-4 September, Stockfree Organic for Life and for Business Farm Walk on 17th September and Organic Squash & Pumpkin Festival on 2nd October.

Iain Tolhurst, Founder of Tolhurst Organic said: ”September is the best time of the year to showcase our farming success, with dozens of varieties and types of veg, fruit, preserves and hopes for the future. Despite an extremely difficult summer, we are looking forward to see our customers, friends, peers and local community and share our story.”

Soil Association Certification Senior Marketing Manager Niamh Noone says: “This year’s theme of “listen to nature” really offers a great opportunity for organic brands and businesses to get involved in a variety of ways, and we’re really excited to see Tolhurst Organic get involved and bring their plans  to life. We hope that by encouraging citizens to consider what nature would ask us, if it had a voice, this will reinforce consumer’s own motivation to choose organic to help the planet and help restore nature.”

 

 

Nature’s keyworkers

The all-industry campaign’s creative approach this year will hero nature’s very own “keyworkers”, the all-important wildlife that is essential to a thriving organic farm, those hardworking bees, ladybirds and earthworms that act as nature’s builders, pest controllers and pollinators. Using striking nature photography, and harnessing the mechanism of protest via placards, the aim is to give the featured wildlife a ‘voice’, combining a strong message about nature in crisis with an engaging call to action. Nature’s keyworkers want us to listen to them and reach for organic this September, to help protect their dwindling ecosystems and safeguard nature and the planet.
