Why Organic?

There are many important reasons to use organic food.

Firstly, your food is not contaminated by chemicals. Your body is spared the effort of trying to detoxify harmful substances, and instead can focus on energy production.

Secondly, your food contains a greater proportion of minerals and vitamins. These substances are vital for your body to maintain health and energy production. They are drawn by plants from healthy, balanced soil.

Then, in a broader sense, you are protecting the future of your and your family's food. Organic certification requires that producers must continually show that they are improving, not degrading, the quality and biodiversity of their soil, land and natural features such as waterways. In other words, their land will be capable of producing more food, of better quality, into the future.

Organically certified farms must also reserve a percentage of their land for native flora and fauna, actively protecting and improving biodiversity.

And Biodynamics?

Biodynamics require an extra level of certification in addition to organic requirements. Techniques involve specific methodology to achieve soil fertility, working closely with seasonal rhythms and stipulating additional rules and restrictions with farming inputs.
