If you live in Bristol, Ludlow or Hackney, it's stupidly easy finding shops that sell organic grub - there are loads of them. When Spar's as good as it gets, however, buying organic lettuce can be a bit trickier. Handily enough, the Soil Association produces an annual Organic Directory and the next one's out October 3rd. It covers virtually everything - box schemes, farmers's markets, farm shops, normal shops, farms, B&Bs, mail order, restaurants, cafes - and is divided up by region and county. There's also a UK-wide directory filled with purveyors of Hippyshopper-type products, from health and beauty to clothes and kids' stuff. Bagsy yours from bookshops or the Soil Association shop in October for £9.
