Why Organic?

Organic foods are a wonderful way to enjoy ingredients in their pure and natural state. Yes, they may be hard to find and often more expensive but they are worth it. They are pesticide and chemical free and are incredibly beneficial to your health. In a world where we aren't sure how our foods are produced, this is very important. The value of organic foods not only helps your and your family but they nurture and help the earth too.

1. We now use about 10 lbs. of pesticides per year for every man, woman and child in the U.S.

2. Humankind is in danger of not being able to reproduce within 50 years; thereby creating the decline in population in unindustrialized nations, which would bring on an economic collapse.

3. Some foods, such as regular peanut butter, average over 10 different pesticides in one sample.

4. 110 out of 144 communities in Ohio have 4 or more herbicides and insecticides in every glass of water. These chemicals are not removed by water treatment such as chlorination.

A report by the Earth Policy Institute (EPI), says global consumption of bottled water doubled between 1999 and 2004, reaching 41 billion gallons (154 billion liters) annually.

Bottled water can cost up to $10 a gallon, which is more than gasoline. High costs are due to transportation and packaging as bottled water is often shipped globally.
