Why Organic?

It's really only been about 60 years (since World War II) that chemical pesticides, fertilizers, and fungicides have become so prominent in this country. My parents and grandparents only ate "organic" because that was how farmers always grew food. Now we have to look for food labeled "Certified Organic"* in order to be sure that it has been grown without the use of chemicals.

Besides doing major damage to our environment--our soil, water, air, animals--the industrial farming practices of today contaminate the people who work in the industry, the people who eat the food (especially children who have a longer time to accumulate the toxins in their developing bodies) and the TASTE of the food that's grown.

When we buy organically grown food we are choosing to support farmers who are working hard to combine ancient and modern technologies to grow clean and healthful food without adding more pollutants to the environment. Do yourself, your family, and your planet a favor and buy Organically Grown food.

*The "certified" in front of organic means that the food and the manufacturing facility have been inspected by a third party agency to make sure that the product fits the established standards to be labeled "organic."
