No matter where a product originates, all organic products that we carry must meet strict USDA organic certification, as well as our own Quality Standards.A USDA approved certifying agent works with the producer on both growing and manufacturing processes to insure the organic integrity of their product. Food in the states has become unhealthy, chemical dependent and highly processed. General stores are mass producing uni-seasonal homogenized produce and the permanent global summertime is not natural. Our nation’s health is suffering as a result of this over processed and unnatural food and our palates have become accustomed to fruit and vegetables which have little or no taste and which look artificially perfect. Many products are packaged in environmentally unfriendly plastic and have also gained a massive carbon footprint by the time they reach their destination. All of this is badnews for us and for the environment. Consumer choice is now limited as our land of traditional independent green grocers, bakers and butchers fades into a distant memory and the major supermarkets dictate what our nation eats. Ask your grandparents; food was never this complicated! We need to revert back to traditional seasonal locally sourced produce to ensure we treat our bodies and our planet properly. Here are 10 reasons why we support organic farming. 1. Its Healthy- More vitamins, minerals and detoxifying antioxidants. 2. No Nasty Additives- No colorings, flavorings, sweeteners. 3. No Pesticides- We don't like to spray our veggies. 4. No GM- No genetically modified crops; we let Mother Nature design food. 5. No Drugs- No antibiotics are used before, during or after. 6. No Environmental damage- Drinking water free from pesticides & fertilizers. 7. Highest Standards- All organic operators are inspected at least once a year. 8. We love our Animals- Animal welfare is a crucial part of organic standards. 9. Good for wildlife- Produces less carbon dioxide. 10. Delicious- Organic food simply tastes better. |
