Do you like family traditions? What about sustainability?

This Easter instead of dying your easter eggs with harmful chemical dyes, why not get creative using organic, natural dyes from fruit and vegetables!

Here is a guide with all the information you need to create beautiful, naturally dyed eggs! Both the Easter bunny and the environment will thank you.

Give a final shiny touch to your eggs by polishing them with a tiny bit of olive oil!

Organic produce is not covered in a cocktail of poisonous chemicals. The average conventionally-grown apple has 20-30 artificial poisons on its skin, even after rinsing. Trust your instincts, and go organic!

Organic farms support and nurture our beautiful and diverse wildlife. Over the last thirty years, intensive farming in the UK has led to dramatic erosion of the soil, a fall of up to 70% of wild birds in some areas, the destruction of ancient hedgerows, and the near extinction of some of the most beautiful species of butterflies, frogs, grass-snakes and wild mammals.

We sat on the edge of one of the groves, overlooking a small sheep farm. The hills ring with the sound of herdsmen driving their flocks to higher pastures. The sheep are allowed to graze in the groves at select times of the year. Their manure sustains the olives for next year.
