Q&A
So what’s the big deal about being called “organic?”
We are dedicated to providing you with safe, chemical free, organic products for your entire family. Making the conscious choice to buy organic products benefits you, your loved ones and the earth. Organic production is based on a system of farming that maintains and replenishes soil fertility without the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and fertilizers.
USDA organic standards describe how farmers grow crops and raise livestock and which materials they may use.Organic farmers, ranchers, and food processors follow a defined set of standards to produce organic food and fiber. Congress described general organic principles in the Organic Foods Production Act, and the USDA defines specific organic standards. These standards cover the product from farm to table, including soil and water quality, pest control, livestock practices, and rules for food additives.
If you see a product with the USDA Organic Seal, you know that almost all of the ingredients that have gone into that product meet these very rigorous, defined and well-enforced standards.
If a product isn’t certified as “organic” can it still be healthy?
Yes. The Organic Seal makes it easier for any consumer to find healthy products. But some smaller producers choose not to go for the organic certification because of the expense. Others actually want to go beyond the organic standards.
That’s where we come in!
We evaluate all of the products we sell and are constantly searching for new producers whether they are certified USDA organic or not. When they are USDA organic, we depend on getting to know the producers, their philosophies on production and all of the ingredients in their products. If their products are good enough for us and our families, you can rest assured that they are good enough for yours!
