Frequently Asked Questions

What are the things to look for when purchasing organic products?

USDA-certified organic labels are desirable. This seal signifies that the product meets specific USDA standards. Look out for the USDA Organic seal on boxes, cartons cans and jars.

When purchasing meat, ensure it is 100% organic. Cattle are ruminants, which means they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle have four stomach areas: rumen (reticulum), omasum (omasum), and abomasum. To be labeled '100% organic, all animal parts must be organically nourished.

When buying chicken, make sure it comes only from chickens fed 100% organic feed and never given antibiotics. Chickens are omnivores. This means they can eat both plant and animal food. Omnivorous chickens have a digestive system that includes a crop (proventriculus), gizzard and small intestine.

Buy only dairy products from cows that have been fed organically grown feed. Dairy cows have four stomach compartments, just like ruminants. Milk comes from the fourth stomach compartment--the udder.

To find out the percent of the feed the animals received when you purchase other types livestock, be sure to read the labels. For example, pork may be marked "95% organic" to indicate that 95 percent of the pork's feed is organic.

What are the most popular organic products?

Today, organic foods are the fastest-growing industries. However, we still have a lot to learn from our roots.

Organic products will be the future. Organic products are safer and better for the environment. They also make it more affordable for consumers.

But they also tend to be higher priced. That's why we created the Organic Food Index. We wanted to determine which foods are the most popular among shoppers today and whether these trends are changing.

These findings show that organic foods are becoming more popular. Between 2011-2012, nearly half of Americans shopped for organic foods.

According to USDA, organic production grew by 10% last year. The U.S. now produces 9% of its agricultural output from organic food.

Although organic food is gaining popularity, it appears that consumers still have to pay a premium for it. According to the Organic Trade Association, (OTA), organic food retail prices are nearly twice as expensive than conventional options.

Organic food is growing faster that any other sector of the food industry. If you look closely at the data, it will be apparent that organic food consumption has steadily increased since 2009.

According to OTA however, the volume in supermarkets of organic products grew by 14% from 2010 to 2011.

This is because consumers are looking for healthier foods. Organic food sales have been increasing in all age groups.

However, younger generations are leading the charge when choosing organic food. Millennials are twice as likely to buy organic food compared to baby boomers. Young adults aged below 35 account for 25%.

What are the advantages of organic farming?

Organic farming gives farmers the opportunity to grow food without the use of chemical pesticides. Organic farming is a way for farmers to produce food without using harmful pesticides.

Organic farming also permits for the use of natural fertilizers. These fertilizers help to grow healthy plants and help to reduce the amount of chemical waste produced.

Organic farming is also environmentally friendly. Many farmers use composting methods to replenish soil nutrients. This helps to reduce pollution and conserve valuable resources.

Organic farming also helps the environment by increasing crop yields. Because organic farming uses less water during the growing season, this is why it is so successful.

Organic farming methods can also result in higher prices for farmers' produce. Healthier foods are demanded by consumers who are more aware of the dangers posed by pesticides and chemical fertilisers.

This has increased the demand for organic foods. For these reasons, organic farming is becoming increasingly popular.

How to buy organic meat even on a tight budget

Here are some tips and tricks that will help you save money on organic meat.

I will give you tips on where to find cheap organic meats and how much they cost per pound. You will learn how to make the best out of what you purchase.

It doesn't take a lot to eat healthy. Sometimes it takes creativity to save money and eat well. Here are my suggestions for ways to cut food costs while still enjoying the benefits of organic meat.

1. Wholesale clubs - Sams Club, Costco, and Sams Club offer great deals on bulk foods like chicken breasts. You may be able to get large quantities of meat for as low as 50 pounds if your home is near one of these stores. This way, you won't waste any meat. It's also possible to freeze meat purchased in bulk so that it lasts longer.
2. Look online to save money on meat. Amazon offers Prime Pantry, a weekly deal with free shipping on orders above $35. They offer discounts on beef roasts, ground beef, lamb steaks, and pork loins. You can browse their website and view what's on sale at different times.
3. Local farmers will usually be cheaper than big-box retailers since they don't pay large fees to stock their shelves. They also know what their animals ate and drink so they can tell exactly what is inside.
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. Explore new recipes. Don't be afraid of trying new things. One of the easiest ways to reduce your grocery bill is to start cooking meals with ingredients you haven't used before. You may be amazed at the variety of delicious dishes that you can make with fresh tomatoes, onions garlic, olive oil and spices.
6. You can be creative with leftovers. If you have leftover poultry or meat, you can use them to make sandwiches, soups and casseroles. It's easy to make quick lunches and dinners with leftover meat.

There you have it! This is my list of tips to help you afford organic meat, even if your budget is tight. Do you have any other tips? Are you able to give me any tips on how to get cheap meat?
