Why Organic Foods?
• Organic farms do not use pesticides or other toxic chemicals that pollute our air, water, soil and ourselves. Not only does this protect human health and our environment, it supports biodiversity and the complex web of life on Earth.

Use of such inadequately tested technologies and chemicals is prevalent in conventional food production and labeling is not required in the United States. • Organic farms are family-friendly and operate in harmony with the land. Organic foods are made without toxic pesticides and herbacides which create severe health problems for farmers. Organic farming practices help prevent off-farm polluntion, soil degredation and loss of topsoil. • Organic foods are more nutritious
