business ratings
|
|
All businesses listed on organicsa2z.com are ‘rated’. These ratings are provided as a quick help to customers to
judge how organic each organisation is and what they can expect if they visit.
|
|
The ratings are guidance only and can of course be subjective. We therefore continually review ratings and welcome
any comments either from the business itself or its customers!
|
|
We do hope you find the ratings of help... and here’s what they mean
|

how organic? - the green rating     
indicates how much of the business listed is organic.

few organic food or gifts, or a restaurant may offer some organic drinks.

A reasonable range of organic items for sale.

small range of groceries (10%)
(or specialist). Either just one particular type
of grocery (butcher, baker, dairy), or a small range of gift foods. So does sell food, but don’t expect to get more than specific items here.
|
|
reasonable range of groceries
Quite a range of groceries, but could be missing
many areas. e.g. no veg, no frozen or dairy, no meat etc. Possibly just tinned, packeted foods, or perhaps just fruit and veg.
|
|
|
|
good range of groceries
A good range of groceries, although you’ll
probably need a couple of other shops to complete your regular shopping.
|

most groceries available
Most of your regular shopping can be done
here. There might be a shortage in a particular area only (e.g. petfood, cleaning goods etc).
|
|
full grocery range
You can buy all of your regular grocery shopping here. A one stop shop.

 Remember that only retailers have two ratings. A restaurant or grower or organic garden will
only have the organic rating.
A large supermarket (Tesco, Sainsbury etc), may have a full grocery range (),
but will only rate as a small organic range () due to the size of all its other non-organic
offerings. Remember to use the ratings as a quide only.
In contrast, a small, specialist baker who only makes organic bread, will get a full organic
rating, but a small grocery range as a specialist. i.e.
A key to the ratings can be displayed on any of the site pages by clicking on the rating symbol.
