About Organic September 2026
Organic September is a month-long campaign dedicated to promoting organic products and raising awareness about the benefits of organic farming and living. Organized by the Soil Association, this initiative encourages consumers to make more informed choices about the food they eat and the products they use, highlighting how organic practices contribute to a healthier environment, better animal welfare, and improved public health. Organic September is a time to explore the advantages of organic produce, support local organic farmers, and adopt a more sustainable lifestyle.
What is Organic September?
Organic September is an annual campaign that celebrates everything organic. The campaign seeks to educate the public about the environmental and health benefits of organic farming, which avoids the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, and promotes biodiversity. By choosing organic, consumers can support farming practices that are better for the planet, for animals, and for people. Organic September is also about making small changes, whether it’s switching to organic milk, choosing organic vegetables, or trying out organic beauty products.
When is Organic September?
Organic September is celebrated throughout the month of September. It provides a dedicated time each year for consumers to learn about and experience the benefits of organic products, from food and drink to clothing and cosmetics. Throughout the month, various events, promotions, and educational activities take place to encourage people to go organic.
