Why Organic?
Food commodities are chemically treated - sprayed, without regulation, with DDT, pesticides, herbicides and fungicides. These have been determined to be hazards to health and the environment.
This affects not only the farmers, but their families, their land, and their water. AND the consumer. The pesticide residues enter the ground and are systemically transported into our food.
Organic agriculture builds healthy soil. Composting, inter-cropping, terracing, introduction of appropriate biological pest control, all offer a chance for and a whole system of compatible, sustainable agriculture.
Buying organic promotes the health of the environment, the health of the growers, and YOUR health. Certified organic products tastes better than those grown with pesticides. We sell organics at comparable prices.
