Frequently Asked Questions

What should I look out for when buying organic products?

USDA-certified organic labels are desirable. This guarantees that the product meets certain USDA standards. Look out for the USDA Organic seal on boxes, cartons cans and jars.

When you shop for meat, ensure that it comes from cows who are fed organic feed. Cattle are ruminants. They eat the whole animal. Ruminant cattle have four stomach areas: rumen (reticulum), omasum (omasum), and abomasum. If a cow is to be labeled organically, all parts must be organically fed.

Chicken should be only purchased from chickens raised on organic feed, and not given antibiotics. Chickens are omnivores, meaning they eat both plants and animals. Omnivorous chickens have a digestive tract composed of a crop, proventriculus, gizzard, small intestine, large intestine, and anus.

When buying dairy products, ensure they come from cows fed 100% organically grown feed. Just like ruminants have four stomachs, dairy cows have four. The fourth stomach compartment is the udder.

To find out the percent of the feed the animals received when you purchase other types livestock, be sure to read the labels. Pork may be labeled "95% Organic" which means that 95 percent of its feed was organic.


Why is organic food important?

Our health is dependent on organic produce. It's the best way to ensure we eat nutritious foods. It's better for us and more sustainable because it doesn’t depend on pesticides or fertilizers.

Organic farming is a natural method of growing crops that uses no harmful chemicals. This results in fewer environmental pollutants and makes organic farming safer. By choosing organic food, you are protecting the planet as well as yourself.

Organic food has many benefits that go beyond health. We all know how unhealthy processed foods can make us feel. However, organic fruits & vegetables aren’t treated with chemical sprays. It means that organic fruits and vegetables taste better, last longer, and are brighter.

Because of this, organic foods are so important. Organic food is not only healthier for you but also for the whole world.


Is organic meat healthier?

This question is probably answered if you've been paying close attention. However, the truth is organic food is gaining popularity at a time when conventional food is falling out of favor.

Organic foods continue rising in popularity because they are healthier. In addition to being safer for our health, organic products also help the environment by reducing pollution and waste.

But there are two sides to this coin. Organic produce is more difficult to grow and takes more resources. Organic food is generally more expensive than nonorganic.

Organic meats are typically higher priced than conventionally raised animals. But, you can reduce the cost of organic meats without compromising quality.

Local purchases can help you save money. Buy locally grown vegetables and fruits to help keep prices low. Farmers receive incentives to grow healthier crops.

Another way to cut costs is to look for deals. Organics often come with discounts.

Another way to save money? Eat less meat. Because of the amount of feed required to raise livestock, meat production can become expensive.

Organic food is healthier for the planet and our bodies than conventional food, but it's important to not overlook its cost.


What are the benefits of organic fruits?

Organic foods are grown without pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, hormones, or antibiotics. They contain more nutrients such vitamins A, C. E, and, in some cases, omega-3 oils. These ingredients are good for our bodies as well as the planet.

Organic foods are grown with sustainable agricultural practices that help to preserve soil quality, and increase biological diversity. They are free of toxic chemicals, irradiation and sewage effluent.

Most people associate organics with fruits, but organic products also include dairy, meat and poultry, as well as baked goods, personal care items, pet food and household cleaning supplies.

According to the USDA, "organic" means that crops are raised in compliance with federal standards. These foods cannot be grown by farmers using conventional methods. They can use approved natural pest control methods such as crop rotation, cover cropping and organic animal feed.

Additionally, the farmer must adhere to guidelines concerning the amount of fertilizer and pesticide that he uses during the growing seasons and how he rotates his fields among various crops. GMOs (genetically modified organisms), synthetic growth hormones and insecticides as well as synthetic fertilizers are prohibited by farmers.

Vegetables and fruits labeled as "100% organic" fulfill all of the requirements. But not all farms will label their products 100% organic. That would confuse consumers. Instead, they will say that their product is "made with organic components". "

Experts say that there aren't many differences between organic and conventional food. Both types can be tested for safety and quality. Organic produce is safer than conventionally produced produce.

Most grocery stores now sell organic products. Check with your local market if you want organic meat, poultry, dairy, eggs, and seafood. Some companies offer only organic products while others have separate sections. USDA Certified Organic is a non-GMO Project Verified company.
