For a high quality health conscious life, nutrition plays a very important role. The genuineness of the products, the characteristics of the environment where they come from, the traceability and the organoleptic values – all these aspects are difficult to find in a single offer. As ambitious as it is, this goal has been reached at La Cerreta. As a biodynamic farm, La Cerreta bring into being more than 95% of the products that are served at the table. We serve a highly nutritious breakfast, with yogurt of cow’s or goat’s fresh milk, fruit jams of our production, to be spread on our whole bread baked in the wood oven, or cheese and eggs of the day for those who like to start with a salty taste. The same quality is offered at lunch and dinner. Fresh vegetables grown in the garden, oil obtained from pressed cold olives, Maremmano’s beef meat, Cinta Senese’s pork and chickens Livornese of our farm. The wines of our vineyards accompany our recipes inspired by ancient rural traditions, presented with that creative touch that makes of a primary need the most popular form of art, the only one that satisfies all senses, giving fulfillment to palate and being. A balanced food, conceived as a genuine expression of a territory, as a culture that has deep roots, men and women who still do personally the many delicate phases of collection and the transformation of the products, to see them garnish a dish that comes literally from around the corner and reflects coherently the value of seasonal offering that we care so much about. In addition to traditional offerings, we also offer light menus – dedicated to users of the Holistic Spa Centre. The restaurant is open all year. http://www.organicholidays.co.uk/at/2604.htm

We launched our brand new Junior Collection in August 2011. Green Nippers Junior Collection consists of colourful organic clothes for boys and girls aged 0 to 5 years. The range includes smart and practical dresses, smock tops, t-shirts and leggings for girls. For the boys there are a wonderful range of t-shirts, stylish trousers and dungarees.

Green Nippers have proven that been organic does not mean that you have to limit the colours to cream and brown. We have carried on our ethos of been bright and colourful for our Junior collection, using a great range of warm and rich colours such as rustic red, chocolate brown, navy, marmalade and forest green.

Since launching our Junior range, it has proven to be very popular. Especially our boys dungarees! Our customers have been drawn the fabric initially as they are not made from the usual denim. One of the unique selling points of Green Nippers dungarees is that they are actually made from a high quality organic cotton sweater fabric (similar to jogging bottoms) which is much softer and more comfortable than denim. However they do have the smart ‘denim look’ with the colour and contrasting top stitching. Our dungaree/pinafore dress and boys trousers are also made from the same fabric.

Green Nippers boys dungarees have been that popular that our cotton dungarees have been bought for girls too – so they are in fact unisex J They are so practical and durable, allowing little children to play comfortable all day long.
Here are some of the key features:
- The legs turn up and the straps have 2 fastening options allowing your little one room to grow
- They are made from soft 100% organic cotton sweater fabric and organic cotton jersey (pockets)
- They contain no nasty chemicals or pesticides, so are therefore eczema friendly
- The buttons are made from coconut shell
- There are nickel free popper fastenings around the inside leg (for easy nappy changing)
- Ethically made in Turkey
- High quality and hard wearing
- Easy to wear, smart, practical and comfortable
- Ideal for babies suffering from reflux as they are not tight fitting around the stomach

Green Nippers blue dungarees are available to purchase from our website (www.greennippers.co.uk). They are very reasonably priced at £19.99, and are available from ages 0 to 3 years.

A recent report by Ipsos MORI for UNICEF UK has highlighted that children in the UK are being drawn into a materialistic culture because they don’t spend enough time with their families.

According to a recent research, although parents in the UK are committed to their children, they don’t have enough time to spend with them due to long working hours. To make up for this, they end up treating them to new clothes and toys, which the charity claims affects their relationship with material items.

For online retailer Boys&Girls, treating your children to new clothes could be turned into a more meaningful experience. Instead of buying into labels, try buying fair trade clothing. This will give you the opportunity to teach your kids about where their clothes come from and how they are produced, giving them a greater understanding of the world they live in. This will help them be kinder to their peers, and could also positively affect their buying choices in the future.

Buying organic children clothes will also give you the chance to make your children aware of serious issues whilst treating them. You could explain the impact of chemicals on the environment but also on the workers who make their clothes, or teach them about ecosystems and global warming too.

And to make more free time for your little ones, why not try online shopping rather than dragging them round the shops? You can fit it in after they’ve gone to bed, and to make it even easier, most retailers can deliver to the address of your choice, like an office, so you don’t have to be at home to receive them.

If you would like to treat your children to organic and fairly traded cool children clothes, visit Boys&Girls online today.
