Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference?
Organic food is made without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Organic farming practices improve soil health and water quality as well as animal welfare.
Inorganic foods can be grown using pesticides, chemical fertilizers and sewage sludge. Irradiated foods are treated with radiation; genetically modified organisms (GMO) are created through biological engineering techniques.
"Organic" and "natural" are often interchangeable. But natural does not necessarily imply organic. Products labelled "natural", however, may contain synthetic chemicals.
Organic produce is more nutritious than traditional produce due to the fact that it contains less harmful chemicals and pesticides. Organic farmers do not use pesticides, artificial fertilizers, hormones, anti-biotics, and other harmful chemicals.
What is organic meat?
Organic meat refers to real food grown without the use artificial fertilizers, pesticides, or hormones. This also means that animals weren't given any genetically modified feed. The meat is safe to consume because it contains no harmful chemicals.
Organic meats are good for the environment. Eating organic foods helps reduce pollution in the environment, such as rivers and lakes. Organic farmers generally don't use toxic chemicals that kill birds and insects. We help to protect wildlife.
Buy organic meats whenever possible. This is the best way for you to eat healthy, organic meats. Local purchases help keep more money within the community than traveling out of state. Local businesses often pass savings on to customers who shop locally. Shopping locally keeps American jobs in America, rather than sending them abroad.
What is an inorganic food?
Organic food is not produced with pesticides or artificial fertilizers. Inorganic foods contain these chemicals, which may cause health problems.
Organic food is organically grown without the use of harmful chemicals such as pesticides or herbicides. These chemicals can cause harm to animals and humans.
Inorganic foods are meats, fishes, eggs, buttermilk, cheese, yogurt and honey as well as vegetables, fruits and spices.
Organic refers to how an agricultural product was grown. Organic farming uses natural methods to grow crops. Conventional farming uses pesticides and synthetic fertilizers.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) must set strict guidelines for organic foods. According to the National Organic Program Standards, all certified organic food must be free from prohibited materials such as antibiotics, growth hormones, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and industrial solvents. Organic food must be grown without the use of toxic chemicals or petroleum-based fertilizers.
How can I tell if my produce has been certified organic?
These three labels are essential if you want to be certain that you are purchasing organic produce.
USDA Organic Certified - Produce certified by the USDA as being 100% organic.
Certified Naturally Grown: Produce that has been grown in accordance with organic practices, but has yet to receive certification from USDA.
Pastured/Free Range - Produce from animals who live outdoors and graze freely on grass and herbs.
These labels indicate that the product meets specific criteria, which include:
- No pesticides nor synthetic fertilizers
- No genetically modified organisms
- Animals are never given antibiotics
- The animal is never given any hormones
- No growth-promoting drug
- No feed additives
- No artificial ingredients
- No irradiation
- No sewage effluent
- GMOs not allowed
- 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 the body when you switch over to organic products
Organic products can be grown without synthetic fertilizers, hormones or antibiotics. They come from clean water sources and free-range animals. The term "organic", which means they don't contain additives or chemicals, refers to their non-containing any. This product was created by nature, and therefore does not contain 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 than others because they haven't been treated with heat, radiation, or chemical preservatives. But, not everyone believes that natural foods are healthy. Experts believe there is no difference in organic and conventional food. Both types of food are tested for safety, quality, and purity. Organic produce contains fewer pesticide and other pollutants than conventionally-grown produce.
Most grocery stores now carry organic meats and poultry. If you are looking for organic meat, poultry and eggs, check with your local grocery store. Some companies sell only organic products. Other companies have separate sections. USDA Certified Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified are some of the options.
These items should be avoided if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. Pesticides can harm unborn infants and babies.
