Better for You

  • USDA certified organic foods are minimally processed to maintain the food’s integrity and nutritional value; they are free of harmful substances including artificial ingredients, synthetic pesticides, preservatives, and genetically modified organisms.
  • Organically grown foods are richer in nutrients; a February 2006 study published in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry found higher levels of antioxidant vitamins than in non-organically grown foods. And, the content of minerals like iron, magnesium and phosphorus may also be higher in organic foods (Journal of Alternative and Complimentary Medicine, April, 2001).
  • Eating organic foods lowers pesticide levels in your body, according to scientific studies – which translates to reduced risk for disease or illness caused those chemicals.

Better for the Environment

  • Naturally Sustainable: The top priority of organic agriculture is to protect the land, the farmer, and the public from potentially harmful chemicals. To this end, organic farming employs natural methods, including cover crops, compost, and biologically based soil amendments to nourish and replenish the earth and deliver the highest quality crops.
  • Chemical-Free: To be certified organic, farmers must follow a strict set of practices for three years to ensure that the soil is free of fertilizers, pesticides and any other chemicals.
