About us
Kitchen Garden Organics (incorporating Lunn-Links), the sole importer of the Kitchen Garden range, was formed in 1990 to act as a link between third world Organic Producers and the buyers in Europe.
Our aim is to offer quality organic products direct from the growers at a Fair price to both producers and the buying public. We have worked very closely with the farm and factory in Zimbabwe to achieve this, and we hope you are pleased with the result.

Manager, Kitchen Garden Organics
Look out for our Fairlytrade handshake logo only on the Kitchen Garden range.
All Kitchen Garden products are Fairly traded. We buy finished goods from our producers not just commodities- this has a knock on effect for local glass jar, bag, box and label manufacturers as well as labour in the packing factory, and generates employment as well as improving the skills base in a currently economy which badly needs both.
The producer follows guidelines laid down by European Fair Trade organisations, and is dedicated to the goals of organic production under favourable working conditions offering meaningful employment. Worker participation in management decisions, above average salaries, equal pay for men & women, protective clothing, housing if required on the farms, a pension scheme and in-house training are just some of the worker benefits.
The company gives employment priority to the post-school leaver population, resident on the farm, so that the family unit is maintained. If further labour is required it is recruited from nearby communities instead of using migrant labour.
