Why Choose Organic? 

1. Nutrient density
Organic farmers nourish the soil that feeds our foods. Research shows that organically produced foods are higher in antioxidants and other nutrients than their conventional counterparts.

2. No pesticides or synthetic fertilizers
Designed by intent to kill living organisms, pesticides can be harmful to wildlife and human health, especially as they contaminate our food, air and water or accumulate in our cells. Synthetic fertilizers require large quantities of fossil fuels to produce, and contribute to soil degradation and ocean dead zones.

3. No synthetic growth or breeding hormones
Avoiding synthetic hormones (which are frequently given to conventional dairy and meat animals to alter reproductive cycles and speed up growth) means less stress for animals, and reduces humane exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals

4. No antibiotics
Overuse of antibiotics in farm animals lead to the development of dangerous antibiotic-resistant infections. Organic farmers instead rely on natural measures to promote and maintain animal health.

5. No GMOs
Genetically engineered crops are a relatively recent technology with potentially devastating impacts on the ecosystems and human and animal health. Organic regulations forbid the use of genetically engineered seeds or animals.

6. Animal care
Organic philosophy means raising animals in harmony with nature. Quality animal care keeps animals healthy and productive, naturally.
