ORGANIC INFORMATION

Ian

I would like more information about turning my veggie plot organic. I have read a few books but would be grateful if you could put me in touch with any organic group in Inishowen. Thanks T.M Carn

Hi Tom. You will be pleased to know that Inishowen does have a really strong organic group here in Inishowen. They meet every last Thursday in Simpsons bar in Carndonagh , so you won't have far to travel!. The main focus of the network is on subsidised training, and now they have such a large membership, most of the training can be done here in Inishowen. An earlier meeting included guest speaker John Long from North West Organics, based in Derry. He spoke about farmers markets. NWO now organise several markets,including Donegal town and Strabane. The markets are slowly becoming more popular as people are getting the 'buy local' message, The group are always looking for organic growers. So if you have a large plot with loads of surplus stock to sell or just produce enough for youself them contact Mary Reilly at jandmreilly@eircom.net> . Mary will happily answer all of your questions.
