Organic refers to a method of growing and processing foods. Organic growing methods are "Earth Friendly." Weeds and pests are controlled using environmentally sound practices which sustain the health of our planet, and ultimately, our own health.

Organic farmers do not use chemicals (pesticides, fungicides or fertilizers) in an environmentally harmful manner. They utilize a blend of old and new technologies and scientific research to balance the Earth's natural ecosystem. Organic farmers work with nature to build and replenish the nutrients in the soil through crop rotations, composting, and cultivation.
