We've all heard that choosing organic is good for you and good for the earth. But why? What is it that makes organic farming's impact on people, on the earth, and on the community better than traditional farming?

Organic farming's rigorous standards.
The certification used on today's organics ensures that it was produced using the highest organic production and handling standards in the world.

Organic soil - nature's healthy foundation.
Organic farmers know that the only way to grow healthy foods is to build healthy soil. Organic farming systems rely on ecologically based practices such as cultural and biological pest management, and the exclusion of all synthetic chemicals, antibiotics, and hormones in crop production.

Organic food truly tastes great.
It makes sense when you think about it - practices that build healthy soils produce strong plants that become nutrient-rich nourishing foods.

Organic farms sustain fresh water.
Organic management practices promote the elimination of polluting chemicals and nitrogen leaching, which protects and conserves water resources.

Growing organic keeps communities healthy.
The emphasis on small-scale organic family farms helps rural areas revitalize their economies and their communities.

Organic farming reduces health risks.
Organic farmers have a strong connection to their land! Instead of chemicals and pesticides, they use things like compost, rock dust, and kelp meal, which contain dozens of different trace minerals and soil builders. This increases the number of beneficial soil organisms, rather than killing them.

Keeping in harmony with nature.
Organic farms can support an abundance of wildlife especially in lowlands and where animals can roam pastures or graze on grassland. Not only do the wildlife benefit, but the entire ecosystems and the ground water are improved by simply following organic farming methods.

Organic farming keeps cows happy.
Organic farming practices not only benefit benefit farmers, dairies, and consumers, but the very cows themselves! When dairies feed their cows organic feed and graze them on organic fields, the cows experience better health, less sickness, diseases and ultimately produce better tasting milk for you.

As you can see, choosing organics can have a lasting effect on many parts of life. From the soil our plants grow in, to the water we drink, to the food we eat, the choses we make are important. So on your next shopping trip choose organic - mother earth will thank you for it.
