Frequently Asked Questions

How do you know if your food is organic?

Ask any chef and he will tell you that fresh ingredients are the most important thing. We feel better when our food is good.

This is true for food as well. Organics can be traced back to their source and whereabouts. We also know that it wasn't treated with harmful chemicals.

Organic food is produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. These substances are not allowed for organic farmers.

However, organic farming is not an easy task. There are many methods to safely grow them.

Sustainable agriculture is also known as organic farming. This means that organic farming does not use as many resources as conventional methods, but it still provides the essential nutrients needed to sustain life.

Organic farming practices include crop rotation, composting manure, cover cropping, and intercropping. These techniques reduce soil erosion and increase water quality.

They also reduce chemical contamination of waterways. We can also find organic farms in our urban surroundings.

Two types of organic product certification programs exist. 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, or O Seals, may be attached to certified organic products. These symbols indicate that the product meets federal requirements.

Are organic meats better?

This question is probably answered if you've been paying close attention. But here's the rub, organic food is becoming more popular while conventional food continues to fall out of favour.

Organic foods are more appealing because they are healthier. 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 requires more resources to do so. Organic food can be more expensive than its nonorganic counterpart.

Organic meats will typically be more expensive than those that are raised in conventional conditions. But there are ways to cut costs without sacrificing quality.

Buy local to save money. Locally grown fruits and veggies help to lower prices because farmers get incentives to grow good crops.

You can also look for deals to reduce costs. Organics often come with discounts.

Another way to save money? Eat less meat. Feeding livestock can be very expensive.

Organic food is healthier for the planet and our bodies than conventional food, but it's important to not overlook its cost.

Are organic foods better?

According to the Environmental Working Group, organic vegetables and fruits had half the amount of pesticides as non-organic. The Environmental Working Group found that organic apples contained eight-times less pesticides than other non-organic fruits, and organic strawberries had fourfold more than their conventional counterparts.

Studies have also shown that organic foods reduce the risk of mercury and lead poisoning. For instance, one study showed that children who consumed organic meat had 33% less blood lead levels than children who did not. Another study concluded that pregnant mothers should avoid eating conventional fish because of the high levels mercury.

Organic food seems to be safer than the non-organic. Experts recommend that fresh produce and vegetables be used whenever possible to reduce your chances of developing cancer.

How can I determine if my produce was organic?

These labels will help you ensure that organic produce is purchased.

USDA Organic Certified - Produce certified by the USDA as being 100% organic.

Certified Naturally Grown – Produce that meets strict organic standards but has not received USDA certification.

Pastured/Free range - These are animals that live outside and graze freely on grasses and herbs.

These labels indicate whether the product meets certain criteria.

• No synthetic fertilizers or pesticides
• No genetically modified organisms
• Animals are never given antibiotics
• The animal is never given any hormones
• No growth-promoting medications
• No feed additives
• No artificial ingredients
• No irradiation
• No sewage effluent
• 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 effluent (if it isn't a GMO).
• No irradiation

Why should you buy organic?

There have been many health problems linked to conventional farming, including allergies, asthma, diabetes, obesity, cancer, birth defects and hormone imbalances. Healthy choices must be made when purchasing food.

The Environmental Working Group offers these tips:

When possible, buy organic fruits and veggies

Look for USDA organic labels on meat, poultry, eggs, milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, and honey.

Avoid processed foods marked "natural" or with "no additives."

Be sure to read all ingredient labels. If an ingredient isn’t listed, it might 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.

Organic means it is free from pesticides?

Organic food does not contain pesticides or chemicals and is therefore chemical-free. This means organic food is free from pesticides and fertilizers.

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

The USDA National Organic Program, (NOP), requires farmers to adhere to strict guidelines when cultivating organic crops.

These guidelines include soil preparation, crop rotation, pest control, water conservation, and harvesting practices.

In addition, organic farming methods promote healthy ecosystems, which benefit wildlife and natural habitats.
