5 REASONS TO GO ORGANIC

1.Organic food tastes amazing!  Organic food tastes better than conventional because it’s not coated with chemical residues from pesticides and fertilizers.  Organic food, which often times is synonymous with local food, optimizes time by allowing food to grow at a natural pace in the garden or field.  This coupled with a shorter farm to market distance ratio than means fresher food as well.

2.Organic food is healthy!  Organic food on average contains higher Vitamin C (powerful antioxidant) levels as well as higher levels of calcium, magnesium, iron, and chromium.  The bioavailability of nutrients in organic foods is at a greater level than that of conventional.

3.Organics are better for the environment!  Organic production systems do not allow the use of chemical fertilizers which pollute our rivers and streams.  Instead, organic production systems utilize composted manure and leguminous cover crops in rotation with cash crops to naturally feed nitrogen to the soil.

4.Organics support communities!  For small farmers, organic agriculture has offered an alternative market where organically grown food commands a fair price.  Workers on organic farms have reduced exposure to harsh cancer causing chemicals.

5.Organic products are free of hidden-costs!  While the consumer may pay a premium at the check-out counter for organic products as opposed to conventional products, the consumer pays more for what isn’t in the product: the hidden costs of conventional include the millions of dollars tax payers pay each year for chemicals in drinking water due to pesticide practices in conventional farming. (Eco Lips Inc..2013)
