Field Fayre – The Organic Store on Broad Street, Ross is even known amongst Hollywood royalty. David and Yolanda MacGregor closed the shop one afternoon last year to welcome a film crew, sound engineers and Jeremy Irons, the renowned actor. Yolanda said: "He's a lovely man. He spent the afternoon filming for his up-coming docu-film called 'Trashed', and was really impressed with our shop and the work we are doing here. He was particularly keen on my organic date slices and dark chocolate flapjack – not only delicious but also wrapped in bio-degradable packaging."

Jeremy said: "We're making this movie, because there are so many people who feel strongly the urgent need for the problem of 'waste' and 'sustainability' to be addressed. There are so many ways in which we can make mankind a sustainable presence on our planet and most of them are both easily done and inexpensive. We can all be agents of change; we don't need to be told by politicians what to do."

In keeping with the work Jeremy is doing Field Fayre have just introduced a new Ecover refill station - a great way to reduce, re-use and recycle the amount of packaging. David and Yolanda said: "'Every little counts' is our motto. We can all reduce the amount of rubbish that ends up in landfill by making small changes to our habits.
