Frequently Asked Questions
What is organic meat?
Organic meat is organic food that has been grown naturally without the use of pesticides, artificial fertilizers or hormones. Organic meat is also a guarantee that the animals weren’t fed any genetically altered feed. The meat is safe to consume because it contains no harmful chemicals.
Organic meats are good for the environment. Organic foods reduce pollution in rivers, lakes and landfills. Organic farmers generally don't use toxic chemicals that kill birds and insects. We help to protect wildlife.
Locally purchasing organic meats is the best way to make sure you are eating healthy and organic meats. Local buying helps to keep money in the community, rather than moving out of state. Local businesses often pass on savings to customers shopping locally. Shopping locally keeps American jobs in America, rather than sending them abroad.
What are the most loved organic products?
Today, organic food is the fastest growing industry. Even though we have come a long ways from our roots there is still plenty of room for growth.
Organic products are the future. Organic products are safer and better for the environment. They also make it more affordable for consumers.
However, they are also more expensive. We created the Organic Food Index. We wanted the ability to identify which foods are currently most popular and whether these trends have changed.
The results showed that organic food is increasing in popularity. Between 2011 and 2012, the number of Americans who shop for organic food increased by almost 50%.
According to the USDA, organic production increased by 10% last year alone. Organic food now makes up 9% U.S. agriculture output.
Although organic food is gaining popularity, it appears that consumers still have to pay a premium for it. The average retail price for organic food is almost twice that of conventional foods, according to the Organic Trade Association (OTA).
Despite this, organic food is growing at a faster rate than any other food segment. Looking closely at the data, you'll see that organic food consumption has grown steadily since 2009.
According to OTA's data, organic products sold in supermarkets grew at 14% between 2010 - 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 have twice the likelihood of buying organic food as baby boomers. And young adults under 35 years old account for 25% of all organic food purchases.
How can you tell organic food from non-organic?
Ask any chef and he will tell you that fresh ingredients are the most important thing. Because we feel better when we eat well.
The same applies to our food. When we buy organics, we know exactly where it came from and how it was grown. We also know it was not treated using harmful chemicals.
Organic foods can be made without synthetic pesticides. These substances are forbidden for organic farmers.
Growing organic crops is an art. There are many ways to safely grow organic crops.
Many people refer to organic agriculture as sustainable agriculture. This means that while it uses fewer resources than conventional methods, it provides the necessary nutrients to sustain life.
Organic farming practices include crop rotations and cover crops, manure composting, intercropping, and cover cropping. These techniques can prevent soil erosion, improve water quality, and help reduce the risk of it happening again.
They reduce the amount of chemical runoff that can enter waterways. Many of us live in urban areas so we have access to local farms that produce organic produce.
There are two types for organic products certification. The USDA National Organic Program certifies one, while independent certifying agencies certification the other. Both require strict organic standards to be adhered to.
USDA seals and O Seals are symbols that indicate organic certification.
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 contribute to soil health, water purity, and animal welfare.
Inorganic foods may be grown with chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or sewage sludge. Radiation is used to treat irradiated food; biological engineering techniques are used to create genetically modified organisms (GMO).
Sometimes, the term "natural", is used interchangeably with "organic." But, "natural" does not necessarily refer to organic. Natural products can also be labeled with synthetic ingredients.
Organic produce is often more nutritious than conventional produce, as the soil has fewer pesticides and harmful chemicals. In addition, organic farmers do not use artificial fertilizers, hormones, antibiotics, or pesticides.
How can I tell if my produce has been certified organic?
If you want to make sure that you are buying organic produce, look for these three labels:
USDA Organic Certified: Produces certified by USDA as 100% organic.
Certified Naturally Grown is produce that has met strict organic requirements but not yet been certified by the USDA.
Pastured/Free-range - Made from animals that graze on grass and herbs outdoors.
These labels signify that the product meets a specific set of criteria.
- No synthetic pesticides and fertilizers
- No genetically modified organisms
- No antibiotics are ever given to the animal
- No hormones are ever given to the animal
- No growth-promoting medications
- No feed additives
- No artificial ingredients
- No irradiation
- No sewage sludge
- GMOs prohibited
- There have never been any antibiotics given.
- No hormones ever given
- No growth-promoting drugs
- No feed additives
- No artificial ingredients
- No sewage solids (if it's not GMO).
- No irradiation

How To
What happens to your body when you switch to organic products?
Organic products are free from synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, hormones, and genetic manipulation. They are derived from clean water and animals that have been free to roam. They are organic because they don't contain any additives or chemicals. This product was produced by nature and therefore contains no harmful substances.
Natural means how food is grown. It's usually used to describe foods not processed into their 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 think natural does not necessarily mean healthy. Experts believe there is no difference in organic and conventional food. Both types of food have been tested for safety and quality. Organic produce contains fewer pesticide and other pollutants than conventionally-grown produce.
In general, most grocery stores now offer organic options. You can find organic meat, poultry, eggs, and seafood at your local market. Some companies sell only organic products; others have separate sections for them. You should look for USDA Certified Organic, Non GMO Project Verified (Biodynamic Association Certified), Rainforest Alliance Certified, and other certifications.
These foods should be avoided by women who are pregnant or breast-feeding. Pesticides can harm unborn infants and babies.
