Organic Food Information

Sunflowers, Fargo, North Dakota

As a consumer, there is organic food information that you need to be an educated shopper. What makes it different from conventional food? How do you know how much organic ingredients are used in a product?

But first, the basics...

Organic food is produced according to standards. A significant part of those standards is the care of the environment. No harsh chemical pesticides or fertilizers are used. Instead, tried and tested traditional methods are employed.

The organic farmer uses composting and crop rotation to enhance his yield. This is the more traditional method of farming.

SIDEBAR

I spoke to an organic farmer about his farming. He has been farming organically for 10 years now. This fellow said that when he first switched to this farming method, he was hesitant to let his neighboring farmers know of his switch. You see, at the time, his neighbors thought his move to be foolish. A poor business decision sure to result in disaster.

Now ten years later, he laughs about it. He has a successful farm and his family eats organically everyday.

To get the most food value from the food you eat, switch to organic food. It's the natural choice, as you will soon see.
