Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I buy organic?
Conventional agriculture has been linked with many health problems including asthma, allergies. It is important to make informed choices about food purchases.
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) offers the following tips on how to pick "cleaner" food:
Always buy organic fruits & vegetables.
USDA organic labels are required for meat, poultry, eggs and milk.
Avoid processed foods labeled as "natural" or "no additives."
Make sure you read through all the ingredients. If an ingredient isn’t listed, it might be added during processing.
Fresh meats are better than canned or frozen. Frozen and canned foods often contain less nutrient-rich ingredients like high fructose corn syrup.
Is organic meat healthier?
If you've been paying attention for any time, you probably already know the answer to this question. The problem is that organic food is increasingly popular, but conventional food continues its decline.
Organic foods are becoming more popular because they are better for us. Organic foods are safer for our bodies and help to reduce pollution.
There are two sides to the coin. Organic produce takes longer to grow, and it requires more resources. Organic food is generally more expensive than nonorganic.
Organic meats tend to be more expensive than those raised conventionally. There are however ways to lower these costs without sacrificing the quality of organic meats.
Buy locally to save money. Locally grown produce helps to keep the prices down because farmers are given incentives to grow healthy crops.
A great way to save money is to search for deals. There are often discounts offered when purchasing organics.
A third way to save money on meat consumption is to eat less. Because of the amount of feed required to raise livestock, meat production can become expensive.
There are many reasons organic foods are better for our bodies and the environment, but we need to be mindful of the cost.
What are the things to look for when purchasing organic products?
USDA-certified organic labels should be sought. This certification means that the product is certified organic by USDA. Look for the "USDA Organic" seal on packages, boxes, cartons, cans, and jars.
When you shop for meat, ensure that it comes from cows who are fed organic feed. Cattle are ruminants. They eat the whole animal. Ruminant cattle have four stomach areas: rumen (reticulum), omasum (omasum), and abomasum. If the cow is to be labeled "100% organic", all of its parts must have been organically fed.
You should only purchase chicken that has been raised organically. It must not have ever been treated with antibiotics. Chickens can eat both animal and plant food. A digestive tract that is omnivorous includes a crop, proventriculus and gizzard. It also contains small intestines, large intestines, and anus.
Buy only dairy products from cows that have been fed organically grown feed. Just like ruminants, dairy cows also have four stomachs. The fourth stomach compartment--the cow's udder--is where milk is produced.
To find out the percent of the feed the animals received when you purchase other types livestock, be sure to read the labels. Pork may be labeled "95% Organic" which means that 95 percent of its feed was organic.

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

The term "organic" means they do not contain any chemicals or additives. This product was made from natural materials and is free of harmful substances.
Natural refers to the way food was grown. It is usually used to describe foods that haven't been processed into their final form (e.g., fruits). Natural foods are often fresher because they're not subject to heat radiation, chemical preservatives or any other treatment. But, not everyone believes that natural foods are healthy. Experts say that there aren't many differences between organic and conventional food. Both types can be tested for safety and quality. But organic produce has fewer pollutants and pesticide residues than conventionally grown produce.

USDA Certified Organic, Non GMO Project Verified. Biodynamic Association Certified. Rainforest Alliance Certified.
These products should not be consumed if you are pregnant. Pesticides are known to affect unborn babies and infants.
