Frequently Asked Questions
What are some things I should look out for when purchasing organic goods?
USDA-certified organic label are desirable. This guarantee that the product has met specific standards set forth by USDA. Look for the "USDA Organic" seal on packages, boxes, cartons, cans, and jars.
When you shop for meat, ensure that it comes from cows who are fed organic feed. Cattle are ruminants, which means they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle have 4 stomach compartments: Rumen, reticulum and omasum. All parts of an animal must be organically fed if the cow is going to be labelled '100% organic.'
When buying chicken, make sure it comes only from chickens fed 100% organic feed and never given antibiotics. Omnivore chickens eat both animals and plants. Omnivorous chickens have a digestive system that includes a crop (proventriculus), gizzard and small intestine.
Buy only dairy products from cows that have been fed 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. One example is pork that may be labeled '95% Organic'. This means that 95 percent came from organic sources.
How can you tell whether food is organic?
If you ask any chef, he'll tell you there's nothing more important than fresh ingredients. Because we feel better when we eat well.
This is true for food as well. Organics are traceable back to the source and provenance of their products. We also know that organics were not treated with harmful chemicals.
Organic foods are made without the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, hormones, steroids, antibiotics, or genetically altered organisms (GMO). Organic farmers aren't allowed to use these substances.
Organic farming doesn't have to be difficult. You have many options to safely grow them.
Sustainable agriculture is also known as organic farming. This is because organic farming uses less resources than conventional methods but provides enough nutrients for life to last.
Crop rotation, crop rotation, cover cropping and composting manure are all organic farming methods. These techniques prevent soil erosion while improving water quality.
They also reduce chemical contamination of waterways. We can also find organic farms in our urban surroundings.
There are two types for organic products certification. One is certified under the USDA National Organic Program. The other is certified independently by certifying authorities. Both require strict adherence to organic standards.
Certified organic products may bear the USDA seal or the symbol O Seal, which indicates that the product meets federal requirements.
What are organic fruits and vegetables?
Organic foods are free of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. Organic foods contain more nutrients like vitamins A, C and E, as well as omega-3 fatty oils. These healthy ingredients make organic food better for our bodies and the planet.
Organic foods are grown with sustainable agricultural practices that help to preserve soil quality, and increase biological diversity. They are produced without harmful chemicals, irradiation, or sewage sludge.
Organics are often associated with produce. However, organic products can include dairy, meat, poultry and eggs as well as personal care items and pet food.
The USDA defines organic as crops grown in accordance with strict federal regulations. To grow these foods, farmers cannot use non-organic (or conventional) methods. However, they can use approved natural methods to control pests, like crop rotation and cover crops, or animal feed made of organic materials.
In addition, the farmer must follow guidelines regarding how much fertilizer and pesticide he uses during the growing season and rotate his fields between various crops. GMOs, artificial growth hormones, synthetic pesticides and synthetic fertilizers are not allowed in the fields of farmers.
The requirements for organic fruits and vegetables are met if they are labeled 100 percent organic. However, some farms won't claim that their products are 100% organic. This would confuse the consumers. Instead, they will say that their product is "made with organic components". "

Is organic meat better?
You probably know the answer if you have been paying attention for a while. This is the crux of it: organic food has been growing in popularity while conventional food has fallen out of favor.
The reason why organic foods continue to rise in popularity is that they are healthier for us. Organic products are not only safer for our health but also reduce pollution and waste.
However, there are also two sides to this coin. Organic produce is more difficult to grow and takes more resources. This means organic food will cost more than its non-organic counterpart.
Organic meats tend to be more expensive than those raised conventionally. There are however ways to lower these costs without sacrificing the quality of organic meats.
One way to save money is to buy locally. Locally grown fruits and veggies help to lower prices because farmers get incentives to grow good crops.
Another way to cut costs is to look for deals. There are often discounts offered when purchasing organics.
You can also save money by eating less meat. Feeding livestock can be very expensive.
There are many reasons organic foods are better for our bodies and the environment, but we need to be mindful of the cost.
