Frequently Asked Questions
What is organic meat?
Organic meat means real food, grown without artificial fertilizers or pesticides. Organic meat is also a guarantee that the animals weren’t fed any genetically altered feed. Because there are no harmful chemicals in the meat, it is safe for human consumption.

Buy organic meats whenever possible. This is the best way for you to eat healthy, organic meats. Local purchasing helps keep money local, not out of the state. Local businesses often offer discounts to their customers by shopping locally. Shopping locally keeps American jobs in America, rather than sending them abroad.
What are the benefits to organic farming?
Organic farming gives farmers the opportunity to grow food without the use of chemical pesticides. The farmers don't have to worry about pesticides causing harm to their crops and animals.
Organic farming can also use natural fertilizers. These fertilizers can be used to help grow healthier plants and to reduce the amount produced chemical waste.
Organic farming can also be environmentally friendly. For example, organic farming uses composting techniques to re-use nutrients in the soil. This reduces pollution and conserves valuable resources.
Organic farming is good for the environment and increases crop yields. This is because organic farming requires less water to grow the crops.
Organic production methods mean farmers can get higher prices. Consumers who are more aware about the dangers associated with pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and other chemicals will choose healthier foods.
This increases demand for organic food products. Organic farming is becoming more popular because of this.
What are my top priorities when buying organic products
USDA-certified organic label are desirable. This guarantees that the product meets certain USDA standards. On packages, boxes, cartons or cans, look out for the USDA Organic seal.
When buying meat, make sure it is from organically fed cows. Cattle are ruminants which means that they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle can be found with four stomach compartments: the rumen, the reticulum, omasum, abomasum and omasum. Organic feeding must be done on all organs of the animal in order to get the cow labelled organic 100 percent.
You should only purchase chicken that has been raised organically. It must not have ever been treated with antibiotics. Omnivore chickens can eat both plants as well as animals. Omnivorous chickens possess a digestive tract made up of a crop.
Buy dairy products that are 100% organically produced. Dairy cows have four stomach compartments, just like ruminants. Milk comes from the fourth stomach compartment--the udder.
You should always check the label before purchasing any other livestock. This will let you know what percentage of the diet was given to the animals. A label for pork might say "95% organic", which means that 95% of the feed used by the pork came from organic sources.
Is organic food good for you?
There are two types. Those we grow or those we get from someone else. While there are exceptions, the general answer is yes to both. Organic food is healthier because it doesn't contain any harmful chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, preservatives, or genetically modified organisms (GMO).
There are many supermarkets that sell organic food across North America and Europe. Organic food is now available in most grocery stores, making it easier to find organic foods.
Organic food is also better tasting and more nutritious because it contains higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Organics are often grown without pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. This means that they do not pollute the soil and water sources.
Organic farming is regulated by the USDA. Farmers must follow strict guidelines to ensure safe eating. There are over 30,000,000 acres of US agricultural land that has been certified organic.
As an added benefit, organic food is often much cheaper than conventional food. Customers pay less for the same amount in calories, protein and nutrients. Organic farms can charge less for their crop because they aren’t required to buy expensive chemical inputs.
According to the Environmental Working Group Organic food is actually 10 percent more expensive per pound than conventionally grown food. Consider switching to organic foods if you are concerned about your health and the well-being of your family.
Organic food is becoming a popular option to the standard American diet. It is often believed that organic food is exclusive to specialty markets and gourmet restaurants. You can easily purchase organic food in regular grocery stores throughout the United States.
Recent years have seen a significant increase in organic food sales. In 2012, the US market value for organic food was $43 Billion. This is an increase of $21 Billion from 2007.
What are the benefits of organic products for skin?
Organic skincare products are made without synthetic chemicals such as parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, petrolatum, petroleum jelly, propylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulphate, talc, triclosan, titanium dioxide, triethanolamine, vitamin A palmitate, etc.
