Our movement is growing!
For over 25 years, the Vegan Organic Network Charity has been supporting farmers, growers and gardeners on how to grow food in an organic way without using any animal inputs (hence stock-free) and instead using plant-based fertilisers and kinder methods which respects animals, supports wildlife and nourishes more people per hectare.
We give grants to farmers to become certified through the Soil Association as Stockfree Organic farms and provide bursaries and educational resources to veganic gardeners.
Also, we are creating the world’s first map of veganic gardeners and Stockfree Organic farms.
The Vegan Organic Network charity is the only organisation in the UK solely working for food to be grown the veganic way. Animal agriculture is one of the leading drivers of species extinction, ocean dead zones, river pollution and soil degradation. Through education, advice and hands on support, we’re on the way to a cruelty-free future, where everyone can access nourishing food. Everyone’s invited. Will you join us and take action?

About us
What is veganic?
‘Veganic’ is a combination of two words ‘vegan’ and ‘organic’. Veganic also known as Stockfree Organic is a guarantee that food is grown in an organic way with only plant based fertilisers, encouraging functional biodiversity so pesticides aren’t needed.
No chemicals, no GMO and absolutely no animal by-products in any part of the chain. Animal by-products such as bone meal, fish blood and animal faeces obtained from captive farmed animals are still used in farming and we aim to help people switch.
Veganic agriculture has existed for thousands of years. Veganic growing and stockfree organic farms offer the solution to some of biggest problems facing humanity today: species extinction, habitat loss, environmental destruction, pollution of our water and air, and soil erosion.
World agriculture urgently needs to move towards “people nourished per hectare”. Every grower, every seed and root planted is helping us create a clean, green and cruelty-free future! Take action and join our veganic map today.
Stockfree organic
The Vegan Organic Network’s Stockfree Organic Standards – refers to food grown professionally by methods, which conform to the criteria and principles of Stockfree Organic standard which are audited by the Soil Association Certification Ltd and the OF&G.
In essence, veganic is a logical step beyond organic for those who seek safe food grown in a sustainable manner.
The Vegan Organic Network
Our mission
is to be a world-wide movement of stockfree organic farmers, growers, producers, consumers and supporters, which will raise awareness, influence policy and educate people about the principles and benefits of veganic agriculture.
We believe
in a peaceful, just world where agriculture is earth, animal and human friendly.
