About organic
What is organic food?
Organic food crops are grown without the use of chemical pesticides or fertilizers. Genetically modified organisms do not qualify as organic nor do irradiated foods or crops fertilized with sewage sludge.
Organic farmers build healthy soil -- fertilizing and building the soil's organic matter through the use of cover crops, compost, and biologically based soil amendments.
Organic meat, dairy products, and eggs are produced from animals which are fed organic feed and are usually allowed free range and outdoor access.
Organic livestock and poultry are not given antibiotics, hormones, or medication (other than vaccinations) in the absence of illness.
