july 2007 news

stop press !!!!

Have you just seen us at HAMPTON COURT FLOWER SHOW where we were showing our range of organic bed and  table linen?

If you wished you had bought something and want to check the colour or design click below on print designs.   If you would like to check availability email is the best way. If you are phoning ask for Hilary. 

Or you could visit us here at The Organic Farm Shop where we keep a wide selection of hand block printed bed and table linen throughout the year alongside our fantastic ranges of environmentally friendly skincare, interesting and unusual books, food from the farm and further afield, combined with a great cafe serving fresh simple food inspired by our vegetable garden.

Our block prints are made from organically grown cotton sourced by Hilary in India and printed at our own small workshop in Rajasthan where she has been directly employing the same three hand block printers for the last 18 years, switching to organic cotton over the past four years.

Last year the blockprinters and the block maker visited us here on the farm

to demonstrate their skills.  16 schools and about 60 adults attended

workshops and took away something they had printed themselves.

We are hoping to arrange another visitin 2008, so if you are interested in taking part in an adult workshop or bringing a textile/art class (gcse or A level only) do let us know by emailing Cargofco@aol.com. 

The cotton is beautifully soft and certified organic by IMO (swiss

certification body) Below you will see our current prices and a

couple of our prints. Click here on print designs to see our usual range,

if you would like to order from us. 

Meanwhile if you have any queries do email hilary on

cargofco@aol.com.   Email is best if possible as we have to check our stock before letting you know availability.  If you cant email do ring on 01285 640441
