Frequently Asked Questions
Is organic meat better?
If you've been paying any attention, you likely already know the answer. Here's the problem: Organic food is becoming more sought-after, while traditional food continues to decline in popularity.
Organic foods are more appealing because they are healthier. Organic products are healthier for us and the environment.
But there are two sides to this coin. Organic produce takes longer to grow and requires more resources to do so. This means that organic food costs more money than its non-organic 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.
One way to save money is to buy locally. Buy locally grown vegetables and fruits to help keep prices low. Farmers receive incentives to grow healthier crops.
A great way to save money is to search for deals. When you purchase organics, there are often discounts.
You can also save money by eating less meat. 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.
Is organic food healthy?
There are two types of foods; those we grow ourselves and those we buy from someone else. Although there are exceptions to each category, most of the answers to your question are yes. Organic food is healthier than conventional food because it doesn’t contain harmful chemicals, pesticides or herbicides. It also doesn’t contain preservatives or genetically modified organisms.
Organic food can be found in supermarkets throughout North America, Europe and Asia. Most grocery stores now carry organic food, making it easier for consumers to choose organic products.
Organic food tastes better and is more nutritious, as it has higher levels of vitamins and minerals. 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 less expensive than conventional food. Organic food is often cheaper than conventional food because it contains the same amount calories, protein, as well as nutrients. Organic farms don't have the expense of expensive chemical inputs, such as insecticides and/or fungicides. They can charge lower prices.
In fact, according to the Environmental Working Group, organic food costs 10 percent less per pound than conventionally produced food. Switching to organic food is a smart move if you care about your health and that of your family.
Organic food is becoming a popular option to the standard American diet. Organic food is not only available in gourmet restaurants and specialty markets, as many people may believe. Organic food is easily available in all regular grocery stores in the United States.
In recent years organic food sales increased substantially. In 2012, the US market value for organic food was $43 Billion. This is an increase of $21 Billion from 2007.
What is organic meat exactly?
Organic meat means real food, grown without artificial fertilizers or pesticides. Organic meat also indicates that animals were not fed genetically modified food. This makes it safe for human consumption because there aren't any harmful chemicals in the meat.
Organic meats are also better for our environment. We reduce the amount of pollution in our rivers, lakes, and landfills by eating organic food. We can also help wildlife by eating organic foods. Organic farmers do not often use toxic chemicals that can kill birds or insects.
It is best to buy organic meats locally as much as possible. Local purchases help keep more money within the community than traveling out of state. Local businesses often pass down savings to customers when they shop locally. Buy local to save jobs and not send them overseas.
Is organic a guarantee that the product is pesticide-free
Organic food is chemical-free and grown without pesticides. This means that organic food is not exposed to pesticides or fertilizers.
Because it is free from harmful additives, organic produce has higher nutritional value than conventionally produced food.
The USDA National Organic Program requires that organic farming practices be followed by farmers.
These guidelines include soil preparation and crop rotation, pest management, water conservation, as well as harvesting practices.
Organic farming methods also benefit wildlife and natural environments.
What are the health benefits of organic farming
Organic farming allows farmers to produce food using only natural methods. Farmers do not need to worry about harmful pesticides harming their crops or animals.
Organic farming can also use natural fertilizers. These fertilizers help to grow healthy plants and help to reduce the amount of chemical waste produced.
Organic farming is also environmentally friendly. To recycle nutrients back into soil, farmers often resort to composting. This reduces the risk of pollution and helps conserve precious resources.
As well as helping the environment, organic farming 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 informed about the dangers of pesticides or chemical fertilizers will demand healthier food.
This increases demand for organic food products. Organic farming is becoming more popular because of this.
What should I look out for when buying organic products?
USDA-certified organic labels are recommended. This guarantees that the product meets certain USDA standards. You will find the USDA Organic seal on all boxes, cartons and cans.
When shopping for meat ensure it comes only from cows that are fed 100% organic feed. Cattle are ruminants which means that they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle have four stomach areas: rumen (reticulum), omasum (omasum), and abomasum. To be labeled '100% organic, all animal parts must be organically nourished.
Make sure you only buy chicken from chicken farms that are fed organically and have never been given antibiotics. Chickens are omnivores. This means they can eat both plant and animal food. Omnivorous chickens have a digestive system that includes a crop (proventriculus), gizzard and small intestine.
It is important to ensure that dairy products are from cows that were fed 100% organic feed. Just like ruminants, dairy cows also have four stomachs. The fourth stomach, or the udder is where you get milk.
Check the label when purchasing livestock of any other type to find out what percentage was used in the animal's diet. Pork may be labeled "95% Organic" which means that 95 percent of its feed was organic.

- Buy at wholesale clubs - Costco and Sams Club are great places to shop for bulk foods like chicken breasts and pork chops.

If you buy it in bulk you can freeze it so it lasts more.

They offer discounts for beef roasts and ground beef as well as lamb steaks, lamb steaks, pork loins, and other items. It is easy to browse their website and check out what is on offer at different times.
- Find a local farmer - Local farmers usually charge less than big box retailers because they do not pay considerable fees to stock their shelves. They know exactly what the animals ate and drank to ensure they are fully informed about what is in their bodies.
- Choose lean cuts of meat - It is usually cheaper to cook lean meat than fatty. 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 have high protein and low fat.
- Explore new recipes. Don't be afraid of trying new things. You can cut down on your grocery costs by starting to cook with ingredients you don't have before. You might be amazed at the delicious recipes you can create with fresh tomatoes and onions, garlic, olive oils, and spices.
