Worton

Last weekend I visited Worton Organic Garden in rural Oxfordshire. It's a small farm, run by couple of people who feel very strongly about the ethics of the food production process. They grow fruits, vegetables and keep some chickens. All their produce is free from artificial fertilizers and pesticides, and most of it is hand picked. The owner is a very knowledgeable and inspiring man, believing that you can live hand in hand with nature rather than just exploit it. It was a heartening experience that makes you think of how sustainable farming could be as opposed to how greedy and industrial most of it really is nowadays.
Here's where you can find your nearest farmers' market so you can buy better quality food and support those who are really passionate about producing it.
