Celebrate Organic September* with Waitrose Duchy Organic, the UK's largest own label organic brand with a range of over 300 organic products including the oaten biscuit, preserves, golden ale and bacon.
As pioneers of organic food in supermarkets, Waitrose & Partners was entrusted with the Duchy Organic brand in 2009. Since then, sales of the range have exceeded £1 billion generating a contribution to The Prince of Wales Charitable Fund for donation to good causes of over £23.5 million.
As well as helping good causes the brand is also pioneering the use of innovative packaging. This year Waitrose & Partners introduced a home compostable bag for its Waitrose Duchy Organic bananas and a market-first for Waitrose Duchy Organic grapes with the replacement of plastic tray punnets with cardboard.
