Organic Food Facts

Organic food is much more rich in vitamins, minerals and fibre and retains the levels of nutrients for much longer

Your body will be more resistant to disease as it will have higher levels of the essential nutrients it needs to fight off infection

The average non organic fruit contains more than 20 pesticides

You will have more energy through consuming lower levels of toxins and chemicals that slow your body down

If you are eating dairy or farm produce then you are also eating the chemicals, drugs and growth hormones given to the animals

Organic food producers must meet stringent standards

Organic farms respect our water resources and do not leach nitrogen’s and other pollutants from their soil

Organic food just tastes so much better!

Worms and other micro-organisms thrive in the naturally fertilized soil that can be sterile on intensive, and chemically enhanced farms.

Organic Farms grow various crops and therefore encourage a balanced Ecosystem

Besides the obvious benefit of taste, there are also environmental aspects such as fewer chemicals in the soil leading to less erosion of the countryside and pollution of our rivers with nitrates.
