What’s Organic?
Organic refers to the way agricultural foods and fibers are produced and processed. It is a commitment to agricultural practices that strive for a balance with nature, using methods and materials that are of low impact to the environment.  The primary goal is to optimize the health and productivity of interdependent communities of soil life, plants, animals and people. Organic products are made from ingredients produced with no antibiotics, no added growth hormones and no dangerous pesticides.

Why Organic?

Respecting the Land
When you choose organic products, you contribute to the health and well-being of the planet because organic farming methods respect the earth and nurture animals. For land to remain certified organic, farmers never use harmful chemicals that can pollute our air, water and food. Instead, they use sustainable farming techniques like crop rotation and composting to improve soil fertility, and non-toxic materials like vegetable oil to control pests.

Animal Welfare
Organic farmers are also committed to the humane treatment of animals. Organic farmers approach herd health holistically. Organic cows make milk according to their natural behaviors. Farmers keep them in good health by giving them certified organic feed, fresh air, and access to pasture.

 Your Health
All organic products are produced without the use of antibiotics, added growth hormones, or dangerous pesticides. In addition, organic processing practices maintain the integrity of food without using preservatives or irradiation.

• No Antibiotics:Antibiotics are important in the fight against disease and infection, but they become less effective over time if they are used incorrectly or excessively. Therefore, the widespread use of antibiotics on healthy animals may lower their effectiveness in helping treat human illness. Organic farmers approach herd health holistically, treating animals without the use of antibiotics or hormones.
• No Added Growth Hormones: Growth hormones naturally occur in milk, however unlike some non-organic dairy cows, organic cows are never given added growth hormones to increase milk production.
• No Dangerous Pesticides: For land to be certified organic, farmers are not allowed to use harmful chemicals that can pollute the air, water and food. Instead, they use sustainable farming techniques like crop rotation and composting to improve soil fertility, and use non-toxic materials to control pests.
