Lately, it seems you see organic everywhere you look: on produce, meat, cookies, candy bars, clothing...even reusable diapers!

But what’s the difference? What does organic really mean?

When we label an item organic in our stores, we’re making a promise and saying that the item is free of pesticides, chemicals, and harmful fertilizers. 

We certainly aren’t alone in championing the organic revolution. Every day, researchers learn more about the harmful effects of pesticides. A study published by the National Research Council reported that the primary form of exposure to pesticides in children is through dietary intake. That same study showed that the level of toxic molecules dropped immediately once the children began eating primarily organic foods.

When you choose organic, you’re supporting organic farms – and supporting organic farms can lead to a positive impact on the earth. How? Organic farmers help sustain our diverse ecosystems by using less energy and producing less waste than conventional farmers.

Choosing organic is an easy and affordable way for you to invest in the health and future of yourself, your children, and your planet. Earth Fare is here to help!
