The history of the organics movement in Tasmania is about to be made into a book, and the writer is looking for your stories. The Organic Farming and Gardening Society had fourteen branches in Tasmania starting in the 1970s, and after more than 30 years, the society will hold its last meeting next June.Organics enthusiast Graeme Stevenson has been commissioned to write the history and says while it's sad the society is folding, there is an upside."They've done their job, because look how many organic veg you can buy in Woolies and Coles now. They stirred, they pushed, they ran field days, had festivals, and printed magazines that went across Australia. Whoever was interested adopted it, so they've done their job," he said.
