Why Should I Eat Organic Produce?

By paying a little more for organic products, you reward farmers for getting off of the chemical tread-mill. When produce is certified organic, it means that a consumer agency has closely inspected a farmers entire operation, including the soil and the water. What this means to you as a consumer is that your produce is guaranteed free of any chemical fertilizers, pesticides or preservatives.

In summary…

For the Environment

Organic production observes time-honored methods of growing and harvesting produce without the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or chemicals which nurtures our living ecosystem. These natural methods give organic produce its full flavor and nutrient value. In fact, every box of organic saves four boxes of American topsoil.

For Your Health

Many food safety groups believe that eating food over long periods of time that has been treated with pesticides may weaken the immune system, cause neurological problems, and increase the risk of cancer.
