And that’s why we’re inviting everyone to join us – to share their recipes, explore new flavors and be part of something special. We know everyone has something delicious to offer!

Why should I choose organic?
There have been many health problems linked to conventional farming, including allergies, asthma, diabetes, obesity, cancer, birth defects and hormone imbalances. You must make healthy choices when buying food.
Here are some tips from the Environmental Working Group (EWG).
When possible, buy organic fruits and veggies
USDA organic labels are required for meat, poultry, eggs and milk.
Avoid processed foods that are labeled "natural" or "no added ingredients."
Carefully review ingredient lists. If an ingredient isn't listed, it may be added during processing.
It is better to eat fresh meats than canned or frozen. Canned and frozen foods can often have lower nutritional content like high fructose syrup.
What are organic beauty products?
Organic Beauty Products do not contain synthetic chemicals like petroleum, parabens or phenoxyethanol. They are made from natural ingredients and don't contain artificial preservatives. These ingredients can be found in many conventional beauty products such as cosmetics, shampoos and perfumes.
Organic beauty products do not require animal testing and are free of genetically modified organisms (GMO).
The USDA defines organic as "a system for production that fosters recycling of resources". It has been used over the years to describe foods grown without pesticides.
There has been a rise in demand for ecofriendly beauty products over the years due to the negative effects of chemical chemicals on our skin.
These include allergies, cancer, skin irritation, hormonal imbalance, early aging, and skin irritation.
Organic beauty companies believe in creating safe and healthy products while protecting the planet.
What is the difference between organic and inorganic foods?
Organic food is made without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Organic farming practices promote soil health, water quality and animal welfare.
Inorganic foods are grown with pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and sewage sludge. Radiation can be used to destroy food, while genetically modified organisms are created by biological engineering.
Sometimes, the term "natural", is used interchangeably with "organic." However, natural does not necessarily mean organic. You may also find products that are labeled as "natural", which could contain synthetic ingredients.
Because organic produce contains fewer harmful chemicals, pesticides, and fertilizers than conventional produce it is more nutritious. Organic farmers don't use any artificial fertilizers, hormones or antibiotics.
Is organic food good for you?
There are two types, those we grow our own and those we purchase from another source. Of course, there are exceptions to both categories, but for the most part, the answer to your question is yes. Organic food is healthier since it doesn't include any harmful chemicals.
In supermarkets all over North America, Europe Asia, Latin America, Latin America, and Africa, you can find organic food. Organic food can now be found in many grocery stores making it easier for shoppers to choose organic products.
Organic food is healthier and tastes better because it contains more vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other nutrients. Organics are also grown without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, so they don't pollute our soils and water supplies.
The USDA regulates organic farming practices. They require farmers to follow strict guidelines so that organic produce can be eaten safely. There are over 30,000,000 acres of US agricultural land that has been certified organic.
Organic food is often more affordable than conventional food. Consumers are paying less for the same amount of calories, protein, and nutrients. Organic farms are able to charge lower prices for their crops because they don't have to purchase expensive chemical inputs like insecticides and fungicides.
According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), organic food actually costs 10% less per pound. You can make a change to organic food if your family is concerned about their health.
Organic food has been a popular alternative for standard American diets. Organic food is not only available in gourmet restaurants and specialty markets, as many people may believe. Organic food is readily available at regular grocery stores all across 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.

How To
How to save money on organic meat
This post will share some tips and tricks to help you buy organic meat without breaking the bank.
Here are my tips for finding cheap organic meats. I'll also tell you how much each pound costs. Learn how to get maximum value from the products you buy.
Healthy eating doesn't require you to spend a lot. Sometimes, you have to use your creativity to save money while still eating well. Here's my list to help you keep food costs low while still enjoying all the health benefits of organic meat.
- Shop at wholesale clubs - Sams Club or Costco are great places to buy bulk foods such as chicken breasts and pork chops. These stores often offer discounts on large quantities of meat, up to 50 pounds, if you are lucky enough to be near one. This will ensure that you don't waste any meat. Also, if you buy in bulk, it can be frozen so it lasts for longer.
- You can shop online for meat at great prices. Amazon, for example, offers Prime Pantry, a weekly deal that includes free shipping on orders greater than $35 They offer discounts for beef roasts and ground beef as well as lamb steaks, lamb steaks, pork loins, and other items. It's simple to visit their website to view the latest offerings at different times.
- Locate a farmer in your area. Local farmers are usually cheaper than big box retailers as they don’t pay high stocking fees. Because they know exactly the diets and drinks of their animals, local farmers can provide a better understanding of what's inside.
- Look for lean cuts of meat. Fatty meats are generally more expensive to cook. So, look for the leanest 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.
- Try new recipes. Cooking with new ingredients is one of the best ways to cut your grocery bills. You may be amazed at the variety of delicious dishes that you can make with fresh tomatoes, onions garlic, olive oil and spices.
- Make your leftovers creative - You can make sandwiches, soups, casseroles, and other dishes with leftover meat or poultry. Leftover meat is perfect for making quick lunches or dinners.
So there you go! These are my top tips for how to get organic meat on a tight budget. Do you have any other tips? Do you have any suggestions for me on where to find cheap meat?
