Go Organic
Ranked #19,284 in Food & Cooking, #344,743 overall | Donates to BuckHawk Center Animal Rescue
Welcome
Organic food is produced according to standards that restrict the use of pesticides, artificial fertilizers, and other harmful drugs and chemicals. Naturally, organic food is good for you, but it is also good for the environment. Organic farmers do not use chemicals that pollute our air, water, and soil and they use sustainable farming techniques that use fewer resources than non-organic methods.
I use organic gardening methods at home and try to buy organic products whenever possible. I don't want to feed chemicals to my family, nor do I wish to support companies that produce unhealthy food. The more that we request and buy organic products, the more they will offer in our grocery stores.

- You really can tast the difference. I'm a vegetarian - so spending a bit more on produce is natural (pun intended)

- I used to shy away from anything marked organic, not trusting the industry, figured they put the word organic on the label to just charge more and not truly organic products. But last year I tried organic carrots for the first time. I was tired of the carrots I was buying going bad after only a week. I looked at the organic carrots, they looked nicer, cost only a few cents more and they seem to keep forever. And they definitely tasted good too!
