GOOD REASONS TO BUY ORGANICALLY GROWN GROCERIES -
By purchasing organically produced foods and other products, we are supporting a safer way of treating our soil and our general environment.
Organic tastes good. This is the simple message given by many people who eat organic.
Good for the soil. Organic systems rely on a modern and scientific understanding of ecology and soil science, while also depending on traditional methods of crop rotations to ensure fertility and weed and pest control.
No synthetic chemicals.Organic systems prohibit the use of artificial chemicals, pesticides and fertilisers. We don’t use these on the crops, and we don’t use these on our animals who go though life without the treatment of synthetic growth hormones or drugs.
Good for people. Organic fruit and vegetables have been shown in a number of studies to contain more vitamins, nutrients and cancer-fighting antioxidants than non-organic food.
Good for the environment. Organic systems aim to reduce dependence on non-renewable resources. Organic production aims at all times towards sustainability whilst having best management of the environment and wildlife as a priority.
No GMO’s. Organic food is produced without GMOs, which are prohibited in the BFA’s standards for organic food and farming.
No BSE (mad cow disease). There has not been a case of BSE (mad cow disease) in any herd which has been in full organic management.
Reduction of landfill. Composting and recycling of nutrients which has positive greenhouse consequences, is a major feature of organic farming practices.
