Frequently Asked Questions
What is organic meat exactly?
Organic meat means real food, grown without artificial fertilizers or pesticides. Organic meat is also a guarantee that the animals weren’t fed any genetically altered feed. This means that the meat is safe for consumption as there aren’t any harmful chemicals.
Organic meats are good for the environment. The pollution levels in our environment are reduced when we eat organic foods. Organic farmers don't use harmful chemicals to kill birds and insects, which helps wildlife.
Buy organic meats whenever possible. This is the best way for you to eat healthy, organic meats. Buying local helps keep more money circulating within the community rather than going out of state. Local businesses often pass savings on to customers who shop locally. Buy local to save jobs and not send them overseas.
What is the difference between organic and inorganic foods?
Organic food is free from pesticides, chemical fertilizers and sewage sludge. It can also be grown without irradiation or genetic modification. Organic farming practices promote soil health, water quality and animal welfare.
Inorganic food is grown with pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Radiation is used to treat irradiated food; biological engineering techniques are used to create genetically modified organisms (GMO).
Sometimes, the term "natural", is used interchangeably with "organic." Natural does not always mean organic. Products labelled "natural", however, may contain synthetic chemicals.
Organic produce is typically more nutritious than conventional produce because the soil contains fewer harmful chemicals and pesticides. Organic farmers don't use any artificial fertilizers, hormones or antibiotics.
What are the benefits to organic farming?
Organic farming is a way for farmers to grow food naturally without the use chemicals. Farmers don't need to worry that harmful pesticides could harm their crops or animals.
Organic farming allows for natural fertilizers to be used. These fertilizers help to grow healthy plants and help to reduce the amount of chemical waste produced.
Organic farming is also sustainable. To recycle nutrients back into soil, farmers often resort to composting. This reduces the risk of pollution and helps conserve precious resources.
Organic farming can increase crop yields and help the environment. 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 aware about the dangers associated with pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and other chemicals will choose healthier foods.
This has increased the demand for organic foods. Organic farming is becoming more popular because of this.
Why is organic food so important?
Our health is dependent on organic produce. It's the best way to ensure we eat nutritious foods. Not only is it better for us, but it's also more environmentally friendly because it doesn't rely on pesticides and fertilizers.
Organic farming uses natural methods to grow crops without harmful chemicals. This reduces the risk of environmental pollution, which makes it safer for people and animals. Organic food is a way to help the environment and protect yourself.
The health benefits of organic foods go well beyond our bodies. We all know the negative effects that processed foods can have on our health. However, organic fruits & vegetables aren’t treated with chemical sprays. They taste fresher, look better and last longer.
Organic food is so important. Because it's not only healthy for you, it's healthier for the world.
Why should you buy organic?
Conventional agriculture has been linked to several health problems, including asthma, allergies, obesity, diabetes, cancer, birth defects, hormone imbalances, and other diseases. Make healthy food choices.
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 for meat, poultry eggs, milk and cheese as well butter and honey are recommended.
Avoid processed foods that claim to be "natural" and "no additives."
Always read the ingredient lists. If an ingredient is not listed, it can be added during processing.
Choose fresh meats over frozen or canned ones. Foods that are frozen or canned often have less nutritionally-rich ingredients, such as high fructosecorn syrup.

How To
Are there downsides to buying organic products?
Organic food has many benefits. However, organic foods have their drawbacks. These include higher prices for consumers, lower quality standards, and fewer options.
It's okay to want more variety in grocery shopping. But we've been programmed to expect cheap food that tastes terrible. You'll find identical prepackaged foods in most grocery stores.
Organic food is popular because it is healthier and tastes better. How do you convince people to spend a little more for organic food?
They could easily tell you that organic food costs more. This doesn't necessarily mean organic food tastes better. This might make them suspicious about your motives.
It would be better to highlight its benefits. Organic food is richer in nutrients and contains fewer pesticides and antibiotics. Organic food is free from synthetic fertilizers and herbicides which makes it healthier for us as well as our environment.
Many people don't want to eat organic food because it is too expensive. However, if they look at the health benefits, organic food may be worth the cost.
Organic food tastes better because it is produced according to strict guidelines. It tends also to retain more vitamins and minerals.
Organic food tastes better because it is picked later in the season. This makes it easier to digest and fresher.
Organic food is generally more affordable because the farmers grow it organically. This requires less labour as well as fertilizer.
