Organically grown does not add additional toxic chemicals and thus is healthier for the environment and your long-term health. High quality products are grown on healthy land. Nature works to keep things in balance. Organic growers and processors are doing the same by selecting the most environmentally friendly solutions to problems that affect their crops. By alternating crops, using plant cover crops such as clover to add nutrients back to the soil, and beneficial insects the need for chemical insecticides is eliminated.
Chemicals remain in the soil for many years, which depletes the soil.
Organic growers and processors work to keep their land healthy. Prices of organic products reflect the stricter regulations that govern all steps of processing such as growing, harvesting, transportation and storage. Thus, the process is much more labor intensive and is usually on a smaller scale. There is currently a limited supply of organic products, thus the supply vs. demand ratio is off balance. Conventional crops are subsidized by government programs, and organic growers have added costs to comply with organic certification standards.
