If you were not aware from the 28th February 2009 through to the 8th March 2009 is what is know as Fairtrade Fortnight.  This is a annual event which promotes fairtrade products to all of us in the UK.

When purchasing foods you should be looking for the Fairtrade mark.

Still today millions of the worlds poorest farmers are trapped in trade poverty. The fairtrade mark you see here is now recognised by 70% of people in the UK now and it can be found on more than 4000 food, drink and clothing products. UK fairtrade sales are growing and more than 7.5 million farmers, workers and their families over 59 developing countries benefit from this international fairtrade system, so are you doing your bit?

Well this 2 week campaign is holding a world record attempt for the most number of people simultaneously to be eatting fairtrade bananas across the UK, so if you haven’t already get on board and sign up here to do your bit!

Looking forward to a great March? well look out for the weather tomorrow. Coming from a farming background if March ‘comes in like a lion it goes out like a lamb’ and if it ‘comes in like a lamb it goes out like a lion’. So you have been warned whats in store. Further more we have St Davids day, St Patricks Day and Mothers day to look forward to, so for great ideas, recipes and many great kitchen gadgets keep reading and sending in your comments to me.
