Why Organic?

Organic food is better for your family's health and the planet. Buying organic is a direct investment in the future of our food system, so it's a choise you can feel good about.

People are more concerned than ever about what they are eating, and in a world filled with crazy foods, the reasons to buy organic keep piling up! Choosing organic foods provides a tangible way for you to benefit the environment, local economies, and public health, both on and off the farm. Organic food supports you, your health, the health of your children, and the planet.

Studies show that organically grown food has higher amounts of Vitamin C, magnesium, phosphorous, and iron-all nutrients vital for healthy functioning of our bodies. Organic fruits and vegetables are high in nutrients and antioxidants, which provide energy and keep you looking young.

Organic agricultural operations avoid the use of most synthetic pesticides found in conventional agriculture. Chemical pesticides and herbicides have been linked to birth defects, obesity, diabetes, ADHD, and other health problems. Pesticide exposure is linked to various forms of cancer and it is recommended that people reduce their exposure to carcinogens by removing toxins from our food, water, and air. Each time you choose organic, you are choosing to leave these chemicals off your plate.

Organic food is safe. Organic producers go to great lengths to ensure that their products are safe and risk-free.
