Organic Holidays - www.organicholidays.co.uk
The Argyll Hotel is, quite simply, the perfect listing for my website 'Organic Holidays'. Their commitment to homemade food, making dishes from scratch using fresh local ingredients and produce from their own certified organic kitchen garden, is outstanding. And just reading through the information on the 'Home Made', 'Home Baked', 'Home Grown' and 'Fairly Traded' pages on their website is an absolute delight.

Fairtrade is about better prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability, and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world. By requiring companies to pay sustainable prices (which must never fall lower than the market price), Fairtrade addresses the injustices of conventional trade, which traditionally discriminates against the poorest, weakest producers. It enables them to improve their position and have more control over their lives.
