What is Organic?

Organic farming is a traditional way of growing crops for food. It is an ecologically sustainable system of farming that does not rely on chemicals to falsely improve yields or suppress nature. It does, however, rely on modern techniques that build on the traditional foundation.

The standards that an organic farmer must adopt ensure:

¨      Crops are rotated to include a crop of vegetables that put nitrogen back into the soil from the air.

¨      Non-chemical pest and disease control by natural predators, traps, barriers, mechanical weeding and timing crops to avoid pests.

¨      Recycling of valuable nutrients by composting and correct use of natural ma­nures.

¨      Maintaining the essential structure of the soil.

¨      An extensive mixed farming system.

¨      Production methods used must minimise damage to the environment and to us.

Why Choose Organic?

¨      Free from pesticide residues.

¨      The levels of nutrients are higher.

¨      When the crops are harvested and the food made ready for consumption, then manufacturing processes are designed to minimise the loss of nutrients and avoid the use of additives.

Organic foods are Nutritious, Tasty and Safe.
