2023 Modern Homesteading Conference - Melissa K. Norris

Saffron is our love affair; a culinary crescendo that evokes a warmth of its own. But cooking is so much more than a single ingredient — it’s also about respect. It’s about respecting people from different cultures who dedicate their lives to creating something extraordinary with every dish they serve; family meals or five-star restaurants alike.

And that’s why we’re inviting everyone to join us – to share their recipes, explore new flavors and be part of something special. We know everyone has something delicious to offer!

For now, love yourself and enjoy this one ... 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are organic products for the skin?

Organic skincare products don't contain any synthetic chemicals such as parabens or phthalates.

Organic skincare products are also free of artificial colours, fragrances, preservatives, emulsifiers, GMOs, petrochemicals, animal testing (except cosmetics tested on animals), pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, heavy metals, and other contaminants.

They also help to preserve healthy skin and prevent premature aging.

Here are some common terms you might encounter when searching for organic products

• Paraben Free – These chemicals are used to preserve certain cosmetic products, but can cause serious health problems if taken in large amounts.
• Fragrance-Free – The product does not contain essential oils or perfumes.
• Cruelty free - No animals were endangered during the manufacturing process.
• Natural Ingredients - The ingredient is derived naturally from the animal or plant.
• Vegan/Vegetarian - the ingredients are either vegan or vegetarian.
• Gluten-Free: This is when gluten was eliminated from the formulation.
• Non-Toxic -- The product doesn’t contain toxic substances, carcinogens, harmful compounds, or any other dangerous chemicals that could pose a threat to your health.
• Biodegradable means that the product can be thrown away as it will become harmless components.
• Pesticide Free – There were no pesticides used during the harvesting or growing process.
• GMO-Free refers to the fact that no ingredients in the product contain genetically modified organisms.

What is inorganic?

Organic food is grown without pesticides and artificial fertilizers. These chemicals may be harmful to your health and can also be found in non-organic foods.

Organic food is grown naturally without harmful substances such as chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides. These chemicals can cause harm to animals and humans.

Inorganic foods include meat, fish and eggs, dairy, butter, yogurts, honey, yogurt, honey, grains and vegetables, as well as spices, herbs, fruits, and spices.

Organic refers to how an agricultural product was grown. Organic farming uses natural methods to grow crops. Conventional farming uses pesticides and synthetic fertilizers.

Organic foods must comply with strict guidelines set forth by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. According to the National Organic Program Standards, all certified organic food must be free from prohibited materials such as antibiotics, growth hormones, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and industrial solvents. Organic food must not contain toxic chemicals, petroleum-based fertilizers or sewage sludges.

What's the difference?

Organic food is free from pesticides, chemical fertilizers and sewage sludge. It can also be grown without irradiation or genetic modification. Organic farming practices promote soil health, water quality and animal welfare.

Inorganic foods can be grown using pesticides, chemical fertilizers and sewage sludge. Irradiated foods are treated with radiation; genetically modified organisms (GMO) are created through biological engineering techniques.

"Organic" and "natural" are often interchangeable. However, natural does not necessarily mean organic. Some products labeled "natural" may also contain synthetic ingredients.

Organic produce is often more nutritious than conventional produce, as the soil has fewer pesticides and harmful chemicals. Organic farmers do not use pesticides, artificial fertilizers, hormones, anti-biotics, and other harmful chemicals.

Statistics

• As for organic meat, regulations require that animals be raised in living conditions that accommodate their natural behaviours (like the ability to graze on pasture), fed 100% organic feed and forage, and not administered antibiotics or hormones. (usda.gov)
• According to a study performed by consumerreports.org, organic products, compared to non-organic products, ranged anywhere from 13 percent cheaper to 303 percent more expensive. (en.wikipedia.org)
• Popular clothing brands, like Patagonia, are labelled as organic by using 100 percent organic cotton for many of their styles. (en.wikipedia.org)
• Once certified by the USDA, it can fall into one of four categories: "100 percent organic", "organic," "made with organic ingredients," or "made with less than 70 percent organic ingredients. (en.wikipedia.org)

How To

What happens to the body when you switch over to organic products

Organic products are produced without the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. They come from clean water sources and free-range animals. The term "organic", which means they don't contain additives or chemicals, refers to their non-containing any. This product was produced by nature and therefore contains no harmful substances.

Natural refers to the way food was grown. It is used to describe food that has not been processed into its final form, such as fruits. Natural foods are more fresh than other foods because they have not been subject to heat, radiation or chemical preservatives. Some people don't believe that natural means healthy. Many experts say there isn't much difference between conventional and organic foods. Both types are tested for safety as well as quality. Organic produce is safer than conventionally produced produce.

Most grocery stores now sell organic products. If you are looking for organic meat, poultry and eggs, check with your local grocery store. Some companies offer only organic products while others have separate sections. You should look for USDA Certified Organic, Non GMO Project Verified (Biodynamic Association Certified), Rainforest Alliance Certified, and other certifications.

You should avoid eating these items if you are pregnant or nursing. Pesticides are known to affect unborn babies and infants.
