Start Organic Fortnight In Porty


Today sees the start of the Soil Association's Organic Fortnight, encouraging folks to try organic products.

Most people automatically think of food when you say "organic", but the Soil Association are attempting to broaden people's horizons by getting them to think about their make-up or clothes.

But if it is organic food you're after and you're resident in Edinburgh or East Lothian, then a brand new organic market starting in Portobello is perfectly timed.

Promoted by PEDAL, there's a list of stalls which will be available here.

Normally I'd encourage you to use the Edinburgh Farmers Market on a Saturday, but why not do something different this weekend, take a trip to Porty, browse the market stalls and the High Street shops, and maybe make the most of the predicted 20°C weather by strolling on the beach.

You might even get to laugh at some numpties losing their oversized car to the Portobello waves, like in this video. The last line from the guy taking the video sums it up perfectly:
