Pat Gallimore's Organic Year (BBC, £9.99)
SOMEHOW, a guide to organic living written by Ambridge's Pat Archer has the stamp of authority.
As Bridge Farm's forthright and long-time convert to farming without agrichemicals, listeners look upon the author's alter-ago as someone who talks a great deal of sense.
And under her own name, she writes that way too.
Like Pat Archer, Patricia Gallimore has had a long-standing interest in organic farming. Here, she takes a month-by-month journey through food values and products, stopping along the way to talk to Tony and Pat Archer's real-life counterparts.
There are people like Peter Segger, managing director of Organic Farm Foods which has branches in Honeybourne, near Evesham and Leominster; David Wilson the farm manager of the Prince of Wales Duchy Home Farm on the Highgrove Estate and Helen Browning, who has become the role model for all organic producers.
Patricia's book isn't just about farming organically. It's for the ordinary man and woman in the street, presenting them with gardening tips, shopping ideas and recipes.
It's so good, you could almost eat it!
