A verifiable source of food that can be traced back from the plate to the farmer that produces it.
Organic standards do not allow synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, GMO’s, antibiotics, growth hormones, or feed containing animal by-products. Organic standards stipulate animal welfare concern including low population density, access to fresh air and lots of sunshine! Organic farms are safer, healthier work environments for the farmers, their families, their workers and for the local communities. Organic farming helps to protect our water, air and soil by leaving a lighter footprint on the earth, and helping to ensure a sustainable future for our children.
Extra attention and care is required to produce certified organic food.
Animals raised under organic standards take longer to reach market weight as they are not subjected to artificial growth promoters such as antibiotics, hormones, feed containing animal by-products, genetically engineered enzymes etc. Organic food production is more labour intensive due to hand weeding & pest removal, and reduced machinery use. Organic production requires extensive record keeping, audits and verification by inspectors to ensure integrity and high standards are maintained.

Organic farming, in harmony with nature, produces healthy soils and preserves diversity on the lands, keeping our rural countryside healthy. Our livestock are on a certified organic diet (without the use of growth hormones, antibiotics, pesticides and genetic modification (G.M.O.’s)). They are pastured in the summer, and are fed organic hay in the winter. Your support of purchasing local premium products ensures organic farming’s existence. Together, we’re creating a fresh view of family farming, better food and a healthier planet. |
