Welcome to HomeFresh News!
 Its
been some time between issues of our fortnightly
newsletter!! We'd like to apologise for the
disruption but we felt it was necessary.
We wanted to get our backend right before
we sent out more newsletters. There was a
problem with duplicate emails which meant some
customers were getting several copies at once. If
that was you, please accept our apologies! Now
that we've upgraded our email systems that shouldn't
happen again. But if for some strange reason there
are any problems then please let use know so we can
fix it and make sure it doesn't happen again.
Lots of things have been happening in the time since
we last wrote. Read on to find out more...
We've been busy sourcing lots of new products to add to our website to
give you more choice and for added convenience.
You can check out all the latest additions on our shop homepage here:

added a product suggestions form
right here and we'd love to hear what you'd
like to see in our shop.
There's been a lot of debate about this recently. You might have seen the
recent articles in the media arguing that the chemical intake of conventional
products over organic food is negligible.
While that may be true for one conventional apple compared to one organic
apple or one conventional carrot compared to one organic carrot. It over
simplifies matters to compare individual items.
You would need to compare gram for gram to get a true breakdown as organic
produce is often smaller than conventional items.
Also eating organic food isn't about a quick fix but rather is about
combating the cumulative effect of consuming chemicals over many years.
There is no
doubt that eating organic foods reduces the intake of chemicals into the body.
However, you may not see this difference in a week or a month. The
differences are more noticeable over a year and even more over 10 years of
organic food consumption.
Chemicals used on food stay in the body and, over time, weaken the body's
immune system. While you can rinse off the pesticides on the surface of
many conventional foods, the real issue is the systemic absorption of chemicals
into our foods.
For example, an apple tree is sprayed with pesticides to keep the produce
looking good. But there are also chemicals used on the soil and absorbed
by the apple tree through its roots. This means that there are chemicals
within every apple, not just on the outer skin.
This is why farms that want to become certified organic have to abstain from
using chemicals for several years before they can be approved. If it was
just a case of stopping the use of sprayable chemicals, the process would be
dramatically faster.
Organix is a UK company with a diverse product range of organic food for
babies, toddlers and children. You won't find any ingredients listed on their
packaging that you don't recognise and wonder what on earth it is. They
also don't add processed sugars, thickeners, processing aids and unnecessary
fillers to their food either.
Organix was founded in 1991 by Lizzie Vann, an organic farmer who lives in
Dorset and who has also produced a popular cookbook with Daphne Razazan called
'Organic Baby and Toddler Cookbook'. Lizzie was awarded an MBE for
services to the organic food industry in 2000.
We've added a few of their products to our range. You'll find many of
them in the
Organic
>> Kids Snacks and
Organic >> Baby Products sections of
our website.
Two popular Organix products worth a look are:
Organic Carrot Stix
Organic Carrot Stix make great finger food for babies.
They are suitable for babies from 7 months on. Find

Carrot Stix
Animal Shaped Biscuits
Another popular choice for older children is Organic Animal Shaped Biscuits.
