Ms Ballantyne said she and husband John started their business, which supplies seasonal boxes of fresh Tasmanian produce, about two years ago.

"When we started, we didn't offer an organic or chemical-free option because there's not a lot available in Tasmania," she said.

"About 12 months ago we decided to offer a chemical-free box, and orders for them are growing every week — it's getting close to half our sales now.

"I would love all my boxes to be 100 per cent Tasmanian organic produce — because we're buying weekly from farmers, we're encouraging them to grow organically, but they have to be turning over a lot of produce to make it financially viable.

"There are some fantastic organic farmers around Tasmania, and for about a year we've been shipping a pallet of Tasmanian produce to Hong Kong markets each week.

"We've just started sending Tasmanian organic produce into Hong Kong supermarkets.

"People over there are very interested in it, and it's fantastic that we have Australian Organic Awareness Month to encourage people to think the same way here — it highlights to people that organic is a growing industry."

Australian Organic commercial general manager Joanne Barber said the awareness month was a celebration of all things certified organic.

"We wanted to create a campaign that highlights why our producers and processors are so passionate about the certified organic industry," she said.

"This campaign aims at educating people on what certified organic actually means and what the difference between organic, non-organic and certified organic really is."

Ms Barber said the organisation encouraged people to look at their lifestyle to see where they could incorporate certified organic products.
