Introduction

Organic food is grown, harvested, transported, and stored using non-industrial / "Green Revolution" means of production. As a result, truly organic produce is not sprayed, injected, treated, or engineered to contain pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, chemical fertilizers, growth hormones, irradiation or industrial genetic manipulations. Simply put, food is grown the way it has been for generations before First World society strayed off course into the Agricultural "Revolution".

Organic means of growing food involve pesticide-free, living/biologically-active soil, organic fertilizer from compost and manure, biological pest control (ladybugs, et cetera), companion planting, crop rotations, self-reproducing, non-sterile seeds, genetically diverse crop families, antibiotic-free, growth hormone-free cattle and poultry, ethical animal treatment, and an inherent respect for and appreciation of the land from which our food is created.

 
A Deliciously, Nutritiously, Tasteful Change

From the sweetest orange carrots to the juiciest watermelons, one serving of organic fare and you will agree that the non-organic equivalent is quite lacking. Nutrient-rich soils and chemical-free farming result in highly nutritious and incredibly delicious produce.
