The Big Frugi Blog - lots of things for you to ponder...
09/05/08 - Three Cheers for Frugi! We trotted off to Cornwall Business Awards 2008 yesterday evening and came back the proud owners of 3 awards - for Best Innovation, Entrepreneur of the Year (that's Lucy) and very excitingly, Winner of Winners - hopefully we'll be able to show you some snippets of the ceremony soon!
07/05/08 - Here on Planet Frugi... Well, the sun us out (and so are our freckles), the swallows have returned to Gear Farm (and a couple have been rescued after flying through the window to say hello), BBQs have been had, and we're all feeling very jolly!
23/04/08 - Feedback from our Question of Ethics Have a quick look at our Facebook page for the full discussion re ethical stamps and logos - it seems that most of you recognise Fairtrade and Soil Association
21/04/08 - Doh! We sent an email today for Real Nappy Week which is this week (21-27 April) - but we got the month wrong and kept writing May all over the place!! Sorry everyone!
18/04/08 - A Question of Ethics Here at Frugi we're in the middle of a debate over what certification we should have (so that we can tell the world how ethical we are!) ... we meet the standards of all of them, but we wondered which was most recognised by "the general public". We'd love it if you could email info@welovefrugi.com to let us know which "stamp" you recognise/respect the most:
1. Soil Association 2. Ethical Consumer Best Buy 3. Fairtrade 4. 1% for the Planet 5. Global Organic Textile Standards
16/04/08 - Fantastic Photos of Frugi-lings on Facebook We're gathering a great collection of photos on our Facebook page -have a look...
01/04/2008 - How Cornwall could soon be growing their own Organic Cotton Farmers in Cornwall have been looking for a new way to increase business in the West Country and have turned their sights to Organic cotton. A unique, Cornish breed of sheep seems to have evolved with a special coat of cotton wool which, when treated in the right way, makes very soft cotton clothes. Farmers think it has something to do with the warmer climate in Cornwall, and a special diet of organic pasties.
29/03/08 - Your little rascal could be the face of Frugi...

28/03/08 - Who ate ALL the Chocolate? Emma did...! She has been sneaking into the larder and munching away on her children's easter eggs - apparently they "won't notice because they can't count, so they don't know how many were there in the first place" hmmm....!!
28/03/08 - Kurt & Lucy's Big Day Out Kurt & Lucy have snuck off for the morning to see LazyTown - Tom is dressed up in his Sportacus oufit, Kurt's upset that he couldn't find an outfit big enough...!
15/03/08 - An Eye Opening Read Confessions of an Eco Sinner: Travels to Find Where My Stuff Comes from by Fred Pearce - ever wonder what really happens to your recycling? Written as a bit of a travelogue, this book takes you all over the world to find out what's going on behind the scenes...there are a couple of chapters on organic cotton too which are interesting.
