Why Organic?

Unfortunately the days are gone when organic food was just simply ‘food’. With the onset of industrial agriculture and an increased demand, organic farming practices were largely replaced with the use of pesticides, herbicides and fungicides. These are used to prevent insects, weeds and plant diseases damaging crops. As a result, mass production and consistency in product is achieved… but at what cost? There are many reasons to eat organic but we believe these to be our top four: 

Health – Eating organic reduces the chemical load on our bodies, and nourishes us from the inside out. Organic produce contains superior vitamins and minerals due to the rich uncontaminated soil that it is grown in. Eating organic also means being more in tune with the seasons. Our bodies require different food throughout the year and eating seasonally supports our bodies to thrive all year round.

Taste – Hands down the most delicious produce you will come across!

The environment – Pesticides that are used to control crops are hard to contain within the specific area they are meant for. A large percentage of pesticides reach a destination other than their target. Instead, they enter the air, water and sediments. This happens when they run off from paddocks, escape storage tanks, are not discarded properly and especially when they are sprayed aerially. The soil is depleted and wildlife is affected.

To support our farmers – By choosing Australian organic produce we are supporting our farmers to continue doing what they do best! We are contributing to a healthy economy and we know where our dollars are going.
