About organic
Why buy organic?
When you purchase the food you eat, you are making choices - about your health, the health of your family, and the health of our environment. As you are concerned with the quality of your health, you should also be concerned with the quality of the food you eat. Organically grown crops are produced without the problems to health and the environment inherent in chemical farming. Farm chemicals, which once seemed such a boon to agriculture, are increasingly proven to contribute to our nation's health problems.
Organic farmers reject the philosophy that we must poison our environment to produce enough food for us all to eat. They are pioneering the development of farming systems to control damaging insects, fungus and disease by improving the health of their soil through the harmonious balance of eco-systems. One of the cornerstones of organic farming is that plants grow in living soils, high in humus and teeming with microorganisms, and show increased vigor and resistance to plant pests. Healthier soils produce healthier crops, which, in turn, results in a healthier population.
Show your support for a system of agriculture that recognizes and promotes greater sustainability for both the land and the people with your consumer dollar. Look for, demand, and purchase certified organically grown foods.
