Here’s what consumers are saying:

“Dear Pure Fun, THANK YOU! THANK YOU!  For making a candy cane that does not have horrible petroleum based artificial colours in it! How wonderful to have found you!  My wife and I have for some 20 years informed parents of the dangers of allowing their children to consume artificial food dyes, and the terrible effect they have on normal healthy kids.  Thank goodness a caring, wonderful company such as yours is making such a superb range of products.  …Once again thank you so very much for caring! I did not know you existed until someone gave me your great candies.”      From:  Steve [aka, Just a "crazy" old organic "Foodie" guy who cares about kid's health too]

“Hello, I generally buy a box or two of candy canes to put on my Christmas tree.  They look festive and it’s nice to have a snack hanging nearby.  To be honest, I never really cared which brand I bought because they all seemed to taste the same.  This year my husband brought home a box of Pure Fun candy canes.  When he told me they were the best candy canes he’d ever tasted I told him he was nuts.  Peppermint is peppermint.  After I tasted one Pure Fun candy cane we bought at least half dozen boxes.  They never made it to the tree.  I am enjoying the second to last candy cane right now and I just may hide the last one.  And yes, I had to tell my husband that he was absolutely right.  These are, without a doubt, the very best candy canes I have ever eaten.  Thanks for making our holidays sweet.”    From: Donna

“I haven’t been able to eat gluten, refined sugar or dairy for 3 years. And haven’t had candy canes at Christmas for that long either. My mom found your organic candy canes today. I went home to visit and haven’t tasted a candy cane that was that amazing ever! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”      From: Heather

During the month of May, the first fruits start to appear in southern England and northern France.  The cherry tree is one of the earliest to give us its delicious fruit, which is full of mineral salts.  Cherries have energising properties and contain Vitamin A which helps to revive the skin.  It has diuretic and de-toxifying properties and helps with fluid retention.  The cherry season is short so make the most of them while they are here.

Aromatherapy essential oils, which are extracted from all kinds of plants – trees, herbs, flowers, citrus fruits and spices – do not include an oil from the cherry fruit, but by adding the fruit to our diet we experience it’s life-enhancing effects, during the months of May and June.

The Innerscents Aromatherapy Power and Energy blend as a massage/body oil or bath and shower gel, is designed to invigorate and refresh.  It contains pure essential oils of Juniperberry and Rosemary, along with others, both of which are used in aromatherapy to ease fluid retention.  Take a look at our Choose Your Blend page at www.innerscents.co.uk.  The blend theme colour is Yellow.  Sue Whall, Aromatherapist, LLSA Adv., MIFA.

Organized by the Inter-professional Association of Organic Wines from Languedoc-Roussillon (AIVB – LR), the next Millésime (pronounced “meal-ay-zeem”) Bio  trade show will be held at the Exhibition Center in Montpellier (in Hérault, Southern France) from Monday, January 26, to Wednesday, January 28, 2009. Millésime Bio is the world’s only trade show devoted to organic wines and reserved for professionals.

In order to meet the expectations of wine buyers seeking to assemble a comprehensive range of organic wines, Millésime Bio will be hosting more than 300 exhibitors this year (winegrowers, packagers, and shippers) from Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Portugal, the United Kingdom, Romania, and more.

“The” organic wine trade show changes address

The country and company diversity makes it the leading trade show for professionals. There has been a constant increase in the number of visitors since its creation over a decade ago. Last year saw over 1,000 visitors, including one-third foreign, representing a 30% increase from the year before. In response to such success, the trade show now alternates between Montpellier in odd years and Perpignan in even years, which facilitates:

- Working under better conditions, thanks to increased exhibition space

- Easier accommodation with extended and diversified hotel capacity

- Direct airline access

A one-of-a-kind trade show, sociable and highly professional

The characteristics that have made the success of Millésime Bio remain unchanged:

- A professional trade show exclusively devoted to wines made with grapes from organic farming

- A way of presenting the wines that is egalitarian and identical for all

- A self-service wine tasting area to introduce new products

- A sociable atmosphere for professional sampling, with catering available within trade show premises

Millésime Bio Contest: Millésime Bio trade show’s international wine competition

The second edition of “Millésime Bio Contest,” Millésime Bio’s competition for wines made with grapes from organic farming, takes place every year in November. The awarding of the medal-winning wines’ diplomas will be held on January 27, 2009, at the Millésime Bio trade show 2009.

The purpose of this competition is to foster acknowledgment of organic wine quality, as testified by the many medals awarded to organic winegrowers in conventional wine competitions.

The organic food industry: a booming market

Organic winegrowing provides answers to the planet’s major environmental challenges: protecting water quality, protecting winegrowers’ and consumers’ health, maintaining biodiversity, diversifying ventures in rural areas, etc.

According to IFOAM (International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements), by late 2006 organic farming accounted for a total surface area of 30 million hectares (74 million acres), all surfaces considered, representing almost a threefold increase in the worldwide certified surface area between 1999 and 2006. Worldwide turnover stood at about EUR 25 billion (32 billion USD), a 53% increase as compared to 2000.

In 2007 in France, organically farmed vineyards accounted for close to 22,500 hectares, (56,000 acres) an increase in excess of 20% as compared to 2006. Languedoc-Rousillon was the first organic vineyard in France (6,140 hectares; 15,200 acres), followed by the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region (5,294 hectares; 13,000 acres) and Aquitaine (3,065 hectares; 7,500 acres).
