Animals raised organically enjoy the highest welfare standards available. Organic farming practices reduce pollution, conserve water, reduce soil erosion, increase soil fertility, and use less energy. Organic standards insist that animals are given plenty of space and fresh air, and that they are raised in conditions that suit their natural behavior.

Organic produce contains fewer pesticides. Chemicals such as fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides are widely used in conventional agriculture and residues remain on (and in) the food we eat. Organic food is often fresher because it doesn’t contain preservatives that make it last longer

Organic food is GMO-free. Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) or genetically engineered (GE) foods are plants whose DNA has been altered in ways that cannot occur in nature or in traditional crossbreeding, most commonly in order to be resistant to pesticides or produce an insecticide

Choosing organic means that you are supporting farming practices with a more traceable production process and you will always know what’s in your food. Organic standards prohibit GM crops and ingredients, hydrogenated fats, and controversial artificial foods colors and preservatives.

How your food is grown or raised can have a major impact on your mental and emotional health as well as the environment. Organic foods often have more beneficial nutrients, such as antioxidants, than their conventionally grown counterparts and people with allergies to foods, chemicals, or preservatives often find their symptoms lessen or go away when they eat only organic foods.

Organic food is free from genetic modification. How do we know that genetically modified food is safe for consumption or the effects it can have on our bodies? The short answer is that we don’t. Eating real, organic food is the only way we know for sure that we cannot be negatively affected.

Organic produce typically comes directly from farmers by you. If you purchase local organic directly from the farmer means you are saving time, expense, travel and packaging cost. We will also consume less plastic bags which are always a win for sustainability and the environment.

By buying organic produce you are supporting seasonal produce which puts less pressure on our environment. It is easy to grow the natural way. By purchasing organic, we also ensure that no chemicals are being put into our air, water or soil. If we want to preserve our world for future generations, we need to make changes now to ensure its longevity.
