Frequently Asked Questions
What is organic meat exactly?
Organic meat means real food, grown without artificial fertilizers or pesticides. Organic meat also indicates that animals were not fed genetically modified food. This means that the meat is safe for consumption as there aren’t any harmful chemicals.
Organic meats are also healthier for the environment. We reduce the amount of pollution in our rivers, lakes, and landfills by eating organic food. Organic farmers don't use harmful chemicals to kill birds and insects, which helps wildlife.
You can eat organic meats and produce whenever you can. Buying local helps keep more money circulating within the community rather than going out of state. Local businesses often offer discounts to their customers by shopping locally. Shopping locally helps to keep American workers employed, as opposed to sending them overseas.
Why should I go organic?
Conventional agriculture has been linked with many health problems including asthma, allergies. You must make healthy choices when buying food.
Here are some tips from the Environmental Working Group (EWG).
Always buy organic fruits & vegetables.
Look for USDA organic labels on meat, poultry, eggs, milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, and honey.
Avoid processed foods that are labeled "natural" or "no added ingredients."
Make sure you read through all the ingredients. If an ingredient is not listed, it can be added during processing.
Choose fresh meats over frozen or canned ones. Many frozen and canned foods contain less nutrients, like high fructose Corn Syrup.
What are the best organic vegetables for you?
Organic vegetables are the most nutritious and healthy food source for humans. They are considered to be the healthiest foods on earth.
Organic produce is free from pesticides and herbicides. These chemicals pose severe risks to our health and environment.
Organic produce contains more nutrients, vitamins and minerals. They are healthier as we absorb nutrients more easily when we eat organics.
Organic vegetables taste great and are safe to eat. Consuming organic produce has no known side effects.
Organic fruits and vegetables can be found at all grocery stores. They can be labeled organic if they are grown according to USDA guidelines.
Which organic products are most in demand?
Today, organic foods are the fastest-growing industries. Even though we have come a long ways from our roots there is still plenty of room for growth.
Organic products are the future. They are safer, better for our environment, and more affordable for consumers.
But they also tend to be higher priced. That is why we developed the Organic Food Index. We wanted to find out which foods are most popular with shoppers today, and whether these trends are changing.
These results indicate that organic food is growing in popularity. Between 2011 and 2012 the number of Americans buying organic food increased nearly 50%.
The USDA reported that organic production rose by 10% in the last year. Organic food now accounts for 9% of U.S. agricultural output.
Although organic food is gaining popularity, it appears that consumers still have to pay a premium for it. The Organic Trade Association (OTA) reports that organic food retail prices average almost double the price of conventional foods.
Organic food is growing faster that any other sector of the food industry. You can see that organic food has been steadily increasing since 2009.
In fact, according to OTA, the volume of organic products sold in supermarkets grew by 14% between 2010 and 2011.
This is because of consumer demand for healthier products, which explains the rise in organic food sales across all age categories.
However, younger generations are leading the charge when choosing organic food. Millennials are twice as likely than baby boomers to buy organic foods. Young adults aged below 35 account for 25%.

How to save money on organic meat
This post will share some tips and tricks to help you buy organic meat without breaking the bank.
You will learn where to buy cheap organic meats, and what they cost per pound. You will be able to make the most of what you have purchased.
It doesn't take a lot to eat healthy. Sometimes, you have to use your creativity to save money while still eating well. Here are some ways you can cut down on food expenses while still getting the best from organic meat.
- Buy at wholesale clubs - Costco and Sams Club are great places to shop for bulk foods like chicken breasts and pork chops. If you're lucky enough to live near one of these stores, you can often get deals on large quantities of meat (up to 50 pounds). You won't have to waste meat. If you buy it in bulk you can freeze it so it lasts more.
- Shop around online - Tons of websites sell meat at discounted prices. For example, Amazon has a weekly deal called Prime Pantry, which includes free shipping on orders over $35. They offer discounts on beef roasts, ground beef, lamb steaks, and pork loins. It's simple to visit their website to view the latest offerings at different times.
- Local farmers often charge less than big box retailers due to the fact that they don't have large overheads for stocking their shelves. They know exactly what the animals ate and drank to ensure they are fully informed about what is in their bodies.
- Look for meat cuts that are leanest - Lean meat is generally cheaper to cook than fatty meat. You should always look for the best cuts. The most commonly used cuts include flank steak, tenderloin and top round steaks. These cuts are very low-fat and high in proteins.
- Try new recipes. Start cooking with ingredients that you have never used before. This is one of the easiest ways reduce your grocery costs. You'll be surprised at how many delicious dishes can you create using fresh tomatoes.
