Supports the Enviroment
Organic agriculture positively effects the environment by creating a long term farming solution which sustains our land and water resources, as well as supports the balance of our natural ecosystems.

Protects our Waters
Organic agriculture does not use chemicals that will pollute our ground water, a primary source of our drinking water.

Creates a Diverse Ecosystem
Organic farming practices respect and support our environmental diversity, by allowing a wide variety of plant species and wild animals to thrive in their natural habitats.

Organic Farms Build Soil
Organic agriculture builds the topsoil on the fields and keeps it from eroding into our waterways.

Saves our Energy Resources
Because organic farming does not rely on non-renewable fossil fuels for crop production, it requires less of these resources to operate. Instead, organic farmers rely on cover crops, plant rotation and natural insect control, which do not involve the use of synthetic chemicals.

No Genetic Modification
Organic foods are never genetically modified or engineered, nor are they ever irradiated.

Organic Product Meets Stringent Standards
The organic certification process ensures that crops have been grown and handled according to the strict standards put forth by the USDA in the National Organic Standards, assuring that no toxic chemicals have been used in the growing and handling process.

The Cost of Organic Food
Organically grown foods typically do cost more than conventionally produced foods because organic production must meet stricter regulations for the growing, harvesting, transporting, and storing of food. This forces the process to be more labor and management intensive, driving up the cost of production. In addition, government programs do not subsidize organic farming.

Nutritional Value of Organic Foods
There is no conclusive evidence that organic foods are more nutritious than conventionally grown foods. However, by not using potentially harmful pesticiedes, fungicides, insecticides, and fertilizers on the food, you are spared the health risks that have been associated with the use of these chemicals.
