WHY ORGANIC?
‘Organic uses no toxic chemicals. Because of that, not only does organic
farming improve air and water quality, it protects farmworkers from
pesticide contamination.
Organic supports smaller scale regional farmers. These organic farmers are
leaders in innovative research conducted on the farm at their own expense.
Multinational companies or governments do not fund their research, making it
truly independent.
Organic means no genetically modified seeds have been used. Plants grown
using organic methods are stronger. The soil is alive with micro-organisms
and is more fertile. That means an overall healthier ecosystem which
ultimately means a healthier YOU.
Organic: it's as close to Nature as you can get.’
