Eating organically grown foods is the only way to avoid the cocktail of chemical poisons present in commercially grown food.

Organically grown foods have more nutrients - vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and micronutrients - than commercially grown foods because the soil is managed and nourished with sustainable practices by responsible standards.

Organically grown foods generally taste better because nourished, well balanced soil produces healthy, strong plants. This is especially true with heirloom varieties, which are cultivated for taste over appearance.

Genetically engineered (GE) food and genetically modified organisms (GMO) are contaminating our food supply at an alarming rate, with repercussions beyond understanding. Choosing organic is the only way to be sure that foods that have been genetically engineered stay out of your diet.

Organic farming supports eco-sustenance, or farming in harmony with nature. Preservation of soil and crop rotation keep farmland healthy, and chemical abstinence preserves the ecosystem. Wildlife,insects, frogs, birds, and soil organisms are able to play their roles in the tapestry of ecology, and we are able to play ours, without interference or compromise.

The rampant loss of species occurring today is a major environmental concern. It is estimated that 75% of the genetic diversity of agricultural crops has been lost in the last century.

Buying organic food is an investment in a cost-effective future. Peeling back another layer of the modern farming onion reveals a price tag that cannot be accurately measured but certainly includes other detrimental associated costs such as health problems, environmental damage, and the loss and extinction of wildlife and ecology.

Spending dollars in the organic sector is a direct vote for a sustainable future for the many generations to come.
