...and I'd forget about trying for organic status. It will cost you £500 to register with the soil association, and you won;t be able to sell produce as certifiably organic for three years. The fee is the same whether you've got one acre or a thousand, which has always rankled with me. We're not organic, as we could never recoup the £500 without pricing our stuff out of the market, but most discerning customers are more concerned with ethical and local produce - and only idiots would buy organic peas from Zambia.
