NATIONAL ORGANIC WEEK AWARDS
Australia’s best organic retail and online businesses have been recognised by the industry’s most prestigious titles – the highly coveted 2010 National Organic Week Retail Awards – announced recently.
Presented by Australia’s leading organic industry body, the Biological Farmers of Australia (BFA) and the Centre for Organic & Resource Enterprises (CORE), the annual industry awards were one of the highlights of a national line up of organic events and celebrations as part of National Organic Week from October 1 – 10.
The National and Queensland Awards for Best Organic Specialist Store went to The Meat-ting Place, Paddington, Brisbane.
Jenelle and Stephen Povey established the family-run business 13 years ago.
“We are chuffed and excited that all of our hard work has paid off. We believe in what we’re doing and think that everybody should be going organic,” Mrs Povey said.
“Our success comes down to just a few simple things, our people, our top quality product, our belief in organics and our dedicated farmers.
