Organic - What does it really mean?

06/17/2010

This from the Organic Trade Association:
Organic is the most heavily regulated and closely monitored production system in the U.S., enabling you to choose organic products with confidence!   It takes a lot for a product to become certified organic. It has to be grown and processed without the use of toxic and synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, antibiotics, synthetic growth hormones, sewage sludge, and artificial colors and flavors. And the product can’t just claim to made without these substances; it has to prove it.

To claim organic certification, growers and handlers must follow a rigorous set of federal production and processing standards.  I invite you to visit the Organic Trade Association's website at http://www.organicitsworthit.org/learn/us-organic-standards to learn more about the standards and what you can expect when you see the Organic Certification label. 

All of our produce is 100% certified organic and most of our add on products are as well.

    About Rawls

    Hi,
    I'm Rawls Whittlesey, President of Gaia's Greens.  I am a Certified Nutrition Consultant (CNC), Yoga Teacher (RYT200) and Self-Proclaimed Greenie!   I started Gaia's Greens so that, selfishly, I could get fresh organic produce each week and could share my find with my friends.  I was so tired of the 60 mile round trip hike to WF or TJ's, and was determined to stick with organics for my health!
