Frequently Asked Questions

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. You must make healthy choices when buying food.

The Environmental Working Group (EWG) offers the following tips on how to pick "cleaner" food:

Buy organic fruits and vegetables whenever possible.

USDA organic labels are required for meat, poultry, eggs and milk.

Avoid processed foods labeled as "natural" or "no additives."

Make sure you read through all the ingredients. It is possible to add an ingredient during processing if it isn't already listed.

It is better to eat fresh meats than canned or frozen. Many frozen and canned foods contain less nutrients, like high fructose Corn Syrup.

Are organic foods healthy?

There are two types, those we grow our own and those we purchase from another source. There are exceptions to these categories, but most people will answer your question 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.

You can find organic food in supermarkets across North America, Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Africa. Organic food is now available in most grocery stores, making it easier to find organic foods.

Organic food is better tasting and healthier because it contains more vitamins and minerals. 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 more than 30 million acres of US farmland that have been certified organic.

Organic food is often more affordable than conventional food. For the same amount, consumers pay less. Organic farms can charge lower prices for their crops since they aren't required to pay for expensive chemical inputs such as insecticides or fungicides.

According to Environmental Working Group, organic food can be 10 percent cheaper per pound when compared to conventionally produced food. Organic food is an option if you want to improve your health and the health of your family.

Organic food has become a popular alternative to standard American diets. While many believe organic food can only come from specialty markets and fine dining restaurants, it is not true. You can easily purchase organic food in regular grocery stores throughout the United States.

Organic food sales have increased significantly in recent years. Organic food market value in the US increased from $21 billion to $43 billion in 2007 to reach $43 billion in 2012.

What are the benefits of organic farming?

Organic farming provides farmers with a way of producing food without using chemicals. Organic farming is a way for farmers to produce food without using harmful pesticides.

Organic farming also allows for more 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. Many farmers use composting methods to replenish soil nutrients. This helps to reduce pollution and conserve valuable resources.

Organic farming is good for the environment and increases crop yields. This is because there is much less water used during the growing season.

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 has increased the demand for organic foods. Organic farming has become increasingly popular.

Is organic the same as pesticide-free?

Organic food is chemical-free and grown without pesticides. This means that organic foods are not subject to chemical pesticides or fertilizers.

Because organic produce is free of harmful additives, it also has more nutrients than conventionally grown foods.

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

These guidelines address soil preparation, crop rotations, pest control, water conservation, harvesting, and other practices.

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

What is organic beef?

Organic meat is food that has not been treated with pesticides or artificial fertilizers. It also means the animals were not fed any genetically modified foods. It is safe to eat because it doesn't contain any harmful chemicals.

Organic meats are good for the environment. When we eat organic foods, we reduce the pollution in landfills, rivers, lakes, etc. We also help protect wildlife because organic farmers usually do not use toxic chemicals that kill insects and birds.

It is best to buy organic meats locally as much as possible. Local buying helps to keep money in the community, rather than moving out of state. Local businesses often pass savings on to customers who shop locally. Buy local to save jobs and not send them overseas.

How can I tell if my produce has been certified organic?

These are the labels you should look for to ensure you are purchasing organic produce

USDA Organic Certified – Produced by USDA and certified as 100% organic.

Certified Naturally Grown - Produce that has passed strict requirements for organic practices but has not yet received certification from the USDA.

Pastured/Free-range - Made from animals that graze on grass and herbs outdoors.

These labels signify that the product meets a specific set of criteria.

• No pesticides nor synthetic fertilizers
• No genetically modified organisms
• Animals are never given antibiotics
• The animal is never given any hormones
• No growth-promoting drugs
• No feed additives
• No artificial ingredients
• No irradiation
• There's no sewage waste sludge
• GMOs banned
• Never gave antibiotics
• 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

How To

5 Reasons to buy organic products

Organic foods are organically grown without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. They do not contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs), or radioactive ingredients. They do not use industrial solvents or sewage effluent in their production. The food's natural environment is protected from contamination during its growth cycle. It is completely free from artificial preservatives, additives, and other harmful chemicals. There is no use of antibiotics or hormones. They are also made in conditions that maintain their nutritional value and freshness for longer times.

1. Health benefits. Organic produce contains less chemicals than nonorganic. This means that it is less likely to cause allergies. This also means that you are consuming less toxins and carcinogens.
2. Eco-friendliness. Produce grown without pesticides or synthetic fertilizer needs very little water. Because conventional farming requires so much energy, organic farms are usually located far from places where pollution is high. This helps to reduce the amount of air pollution.
3. Sustainability. Organic farming relies more on soil fertility than chemical fertilizers. This results is healthier soils with higher organic matter. It is better for soil health to rotate crops and allow the land to fallow regularly. Farm animals that eat only grasses, grains and no antibiotics develop strong immune systems.
4. Taste. Because they are picked at their peak ripeness and then shipped long distances to supermarkets, conventional fruits and vegetables can often taste bland. Organic produce is more rich and sweetened because it was harvested when it was still unripe.
5. Nutrition. GMOs are harmful chemicals found in many conventional processed foods. Avoid these harmful chemicals by eating whole foods, such as meat, eggs and fish, seeds, legumes, fruits, vegetables, herbs, and beans.
