Hi,
Our new tomato plants are showing signs of dark brown and light purple
patches on the leaves, obviously blight. We prefer an organic solution
to the problem. Can someone recommend something please.

It's too late to treat blight by any means now. Just pick the toms (
they will ripen in a cool place indoors) and burn the plants if you can,
to kill the blight spores. If you can't burn them, don't compost them.

See my reply to Steve. :)

I read on some discussions that as long as you bury the plants at
least 2 fet below the surface, it's okay, but, yes, burning is better
to completely destroy the disease.
Thanks,

Pull them up and burn them.
