The Soilmate had a prominent role in the action. The Soilmate is a product developed by Nature & More to draw consumers' attention to the subject of soil degradation. It consists of a small purple box containing organic vine tomatoes, compost and basil seeds, as well as information about the soil issue and an appeal to the consumer to get involved in urban farming.

The new season for organic Hicaz pomegranates from Turkey has got off to a promising start. Following last year’s limited harvest, expectations among our two regular producers, Göknur and Başak Tarım, are clearly more positive. Our Product Manager, Joep van Koevorden, recently visited both growers to assess the new harvest and discuss the prospects for the coming season.
From a vast organic orchard in Kozan to family land with centuries of history in Söke: behind our Turkish pomegranates lie two very different stories. Discover how Göknur and Başak Tarım each go about growing organic Hicaz pomegranates in their own way.
From warming teas and golden milk to fresh shots, smoothies and curries: ginger and turmeric are versatile ingredients that are perfect for the autumn and winter seasons.
