Muslim organic shop
I am looking at opening an Organic Butcher shop in London for the Muslim market. Would you be able to provide any information as to any farmers in the UK who can provide this sort of service?
The main items for sale would be:
- Lamb
- Beef
- Chicken
- Eggs
- Mutton
The other items could be:
- Organic vegetables
- Organic cook ingredients
- Organic Honey etc.
I am looking to invest in the first ever Muslim Organic shop that I know of in the UK. I intend to promote the Organic market in a very proactive manner with leaflets and videos of the farms on screens within the shop. I hope to screen films showing the benefits of organic living and the difference between mass farming.
If you can help with contacts within the organic farming industry please let me know.
Kind regards,
Rahim Salam
Dear Rahim,
Thank you for your email. It's great news that you're looking to provide Muslim Londoners with organic Halal meat and poultry. I currently know of only one other business that supplies halal-suitable organic meats. The man who runs this business is called Leon Pein, and his company is www.organickosher.co.uk
Leon is a Jewish man who is a great supporter and supplier of both organic kosher and halal-suitable meat to his Jewish and Muslim clients. He is one of the key people establishing a supply chain to fulfil the huge demand for organic Biblical foods in the UK.
Jewish and Muslim food producers are often faced with out-dated attitudes to their traditional slaughter techniques when trying to get their products certified as organic. Leon is working hard to raise awareness of the difficulties facing British organic livestock farmers when applying for organic status for their kosher and halal products.
Please keep in touch and let me know as your business moves forward. It sounds like a very exciting shop, especially with the multimedia aspect and information sources for your customers.
I wish you the best of luck, and look forward to hearing more.
Best wishes
Ysanne
