Why we are Organic and why you should be!
- Organic food is produced without chemical pesticides, fungicides and herbicides and is full of natural flavour.
- Organic farming means absolutely no use of any genetically modified organisms (GMOs) including seeds, crops and animals. Even the food of organic animals is GMO-free.
- Organic standards require farmers to care for the surrounding environment. This includes maintaining natural habitats, streams and other natural features and planting trees.
- Organic standards prioritise animal welfare. Livestock are given no routine antibiotics or growth-promoting drugs.
- Organic farms are good for wildlife. Surveys show that more birds and butterflies are found on organic farms.
- Organic farms generally employ more people thus helping to safeguard the rural fabric.
