Going Organic Facts

Did you know that if you're feeding your baby a non organic apple that you are also feeding him more than 25 pesticides?

In the past five years, eating organic has risen 30%. More stores are carrying a variety of organic products from fruit and veggies to milk and grains.

The health benefits of eating organic are vast. Eating an organic tomato for instance has 79% more quercetin, which is an antioxidant, than a tomato grown in chemical fertilizer.

Organic food is also fresher! Since organic farmers do not use pesticides they sell their produce locally. Therefore, it is fresher and the taste is believed to be better.
