What Is Organic?
Certified Organic products are grown
and processed without the use of
synthetic chemicals, fertilizers, or
GMO's* (see definition below). It is
an innovative method of farming and
production and is increasingly being
recognized as being on the leading
edge of food and fiber technology
into the future. Organics is not
just chemical free by testing. It is
about the way the product
ingredients have been grown,
prepared, processed and packaged.
The whole system is linked - the
soil, the plants, the people and the
environment.

|
Standards to achieve certification are internationally
recognized and are assured through annual audits of all
certified operators by an independent third party
auditor.
What is a GMO?
A genetically modified
organism (GMO) is a plant, animal or microorganism whose
genetic code has been altered (subtracted from, or added
to either the same species or a different species) in
order to give it characteristics that it does not have
naturally.

|
Scientists can now transfer genes between species that
otherwise would be incapable of mating, for example, a
goat and a spider. This is what we call transgenesis.
Little is known about the long-term effects of such
manipulations on humans, plants, animals and/or the
environment. And while some see GMO's as the way to the
future, others believe that scientists have gone too
far, tinkering with the essence of life.
