Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between organic and inorganic foods?

Organic food is made without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Organic farming practices promote soil health, water quality and animal welfare.

Inorganic foods may be grown with chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or sewage sludge. Radiated foods can be treated with radiation. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are created by biological engineering techniques.

Sometimes, the term "natural", is used interchangeably with "organic." But natural does not necessarily imply organic. Products labelled "natural", however, may contain synthetic chemicals.

Because organic produce contains fewer harmful chemicals, pesticides, and fertilizers than conventional produce it is more nutritious. Organic farmers don't use any artificial fertilizers, hormones or antibiotics.

Is organic the same as pesticide-free?

Organic food is free from pesticides and chemical fertilizers. This means there is little or no exposure to chemicals such as fertilizers and herbicides.

Because organic produce does not contain harmful additives it has more nutrients that conventionally produced foods.

The USDA National Organic Program requires that organic farming practices be followed by farmers.

These guidelines cover soil preparation, crop rotation and pest control. They also include water conservation and harvesting techniques.

Organic farming techniques also contribute to healthy ecosystems that benefit wildlife as well as natural habitats.

What is organic meat?

Organic meat is real food grown without pesticides, artificial fertilizers, or hormones. It also means the animals were not fed any genetically modified foods. Because there are no harmful chemicals in the meat, it is safe for human consumption.

Organic meats are also better for our environment. Eating organic foods helps reduce pollution in the environment, such as rivers and lakes. We can also help wildlife by eating organic foods. Organic farmers do not often use toxic chemicals that can kill birds or insects.

You can eat organic meats and produce whenever you can. Local shopping helps keep more money in your community than it does out of state. Local businesses often pass down savings to customers when they shop locally. Shopping locally keeps American jobs in America, rather than sending them abroad.

I'll give you some tips about where to find organic meats at a low price and how much it costs per pound. You'll learn how to get the best from what you buy.

For healthy eating, you don’t have to spend a lot. Sometimes you need to be creative in order to save money and still eat healthy. Here are some ways you can cut down on food expenses while still getting the best from organic meat.

You can often find deals on large quantities (up to 50 pounds) if you live close to one of these stores. This way you won't end up with any leftover meat. And if you buy it in bulk, you can freeze it, so it lasts longer.
2. Look online to save money on meat. Amazon offers Prime Pantry weekly deals, including free shipping for orders above $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.
3. Locate a farmer in your area. Local farmers are usually cheaper than big box retailers as they don’t pay high stocking fees. They know exactly what the animals ate and drank to ensure they are fully informed about what is in their bodies.
4. Look out for cuts that are the leanest. It's generally less expensive to cook lean meat than fatty. You should always look for the best cuts. The most popular are sirloin or flank steak, tenderloin roasts, top round steak, and top roast steak. These cuts are very low-fat and high in proteins.
5. Try new recipes. You can cut down on your grocery costs by starting to cook with ingredients you don't have before. It's possible to create delicious meals with fresh tomatoes, onions and garlic using olive oil, spices, and garlic.
6. Remaining meat and poultry can be used for sandwiches, salads or soups. Leftover meat is perfect for making quick lunches or dinners.
