If you have any nagging doubts about the origins of your food, Real Foods has been keeping short and traceable supply chains from around the time when horses were still widely used for farming.

By investing in Soil Association certification we have full traceability on our organic produce. When we say our products are organic you can be certain that they have been produced to some of the highest organic standards out there, we can even tell you where your food was grown and who by.
(cid:116)(cid:1) Better - Organic farming is better for the environment, better for animals and healthier for you.
(cid:116)(cid:1) (cid:53)(cid:83)(cid:86)(cid:84)(cid:85)(cid:1)- The Soil Association symbol marks organic products you can trust. Only 80% of the UK’s organic goods are certified by the Soil Association, but all of ours are.
