More and more Australians are choosing healthier lifestyles and seeking out sustainably produced food, drinks, household items and cosmetics. Australian Organic Awareness Month is all about raising awareness of what organic actually means and the variety of organic products available on the market.
In Australia, organic products are free range with no artificial additives, synthetic chemicals or GMOS (genetically modified organisms). This means that by choosing organic, you are choosing a product that was grown the way nature intended, and using sustainable and regenerative methods.
From starting the day with breakfast right through to your morning tea or coffee, lunch, dinner, dessert and beverages (both non-alcoholic and alcoholic), there are myriad organic food and drink choices to suit everyone in your household. Supermarkets also stock a variety of organic baby and toddler food, and of course there's some great organic choices for your pets too.

PLANT-BASED PIES
Pies are a piece of gastronomic brilliance: a filling with a case and lid you can eat is food genius. The first pies date back to Egyptian times and there is a recipe for chicken pie that was carved into stone more than 4000 years ago. For millennia, however, the pie casing was mostly used to cook the filling, but for around 500 years or more we have been eating the pie crust too.
