At Naturally Good Food we have been getting many requests for sacks and large quantities of many of our favourite wholefoods. As buying in bulk offers a major saving we are starting a new section on our site devoted to buying in bulk, this section we will expand over time.
Currently, we have individual sections on :
- Nuts - in this section we can offer nuts in 10kg sacks, if you use for example you use alot of ground Almonds a 10kg sack can save you over 80% of the price compared with buying in 250g bags.
- Seeds - with buying seeds in bulk you just need to take care when storing them.
- Dried Fruit - a great way to get into serious baking
- Wholefoods - sharing a sack or large bag with friends and family is a great way to keep the cost down and ensure the best quality possible.
- Grains Flour and Muesli - a great saving.
- Household - for items with almost an unlimited shelf life why would you not buy in bulk.
- Hair and Bath Products - if you buy your shampoo, conditioner of shower gel in large bottles not only do you save a great deal of money you are also helping the environment as you use significantly less packaging, so what’s good for your pocket is also good for the environment.

On Saturday 10th October we had a new addition to the Stable Yard at Cotesbach. Jasons Organic Butcher opened after much work by Tom, Jason and his family.
Jason has moved to Cotesbach following the sale of Elmhurst Organic Farm. At Elmhurst Jason ran the butchers shop and much of the farm. The long-term plan is that more of the Cotesbach Estate will be converted to organic production and the estate will produce organic meat as well as the fruit and veg that comes from the kitchen garden.
With the addition of Jason the Stable Yard can now forfill all your organic food needs.
