What organic means in Gabriela's Garden
Organic farming avoids the use of synthetic fertilisers, feeds and pesticides. The principles of organic farming are based on nourishing plants through soil health.
By law, organic produce growers must be registered and inspected by an approved organic certification body. To be able to call products ‘organic’ it takes three years of soil testing and over £500 in fees.
Gabriela's Garden is not organically registered, but I do not use pesticides, fertilisers or chemical feeds.
I grow clean, nutritious produce through the use of healthy soil, composting and natural growing methods.
Everything is grown seasonally, carefully and with respect for the soil it grows in.
Healthy soil grows healthy food.
Good produce begins long before harvest — it begins in healthy soil, careful growing and patience.

Every harvest is grown seasonally, naturally and by hand — no chemicals, no mass production and no supermarket storage.
