Organic Reasons

So we know what Organic Means, but why should it be something that you not only accept but seek out?

As a restaurant owner, the quality of what is on the plate is of utmost importance. If organic somehow tasted/looked worse it would be a hard sell. Luckily Organic foods taste better, and outshine their tainted cousins... so these are some reasons to buy organic:

Most important to me: You are putting this in your body.

Other reasons:
1. Organic food taste great.
2. Organic farming feeds our hunger today and does not compromise the needs of the future.
3. Organic farming preserves the diversity of our plant species.
4. Organic farming preserves our natural water resources.
5. Organic production limits toxic and long lasting chemicals in our environment.

Organic Thoughts

You see many Organic items on our menu, but the question is:

What does Organic really mean?

Organic agriculture is a philosophy of growing methods that focuses on the use of renewable resources and the protection of the soil and conservation of water to promote environmental quality. These 'Organic Food Products' are produced using:

- No genetically engineered seeds or crops, sewage sludge, long lasting pesticides, herbicides or fungicides. They also contain no artificial coloring agents.

- Livestock management that promotes healthy, humanely treated animals, organically grown feed, fresh air, outdoor access, while using no growth hormones, antibiotics, or artificial coloring.

- Practices that protect the integrity of the organic product and disallow irradiation, genetically modified ingredients (GMOs) or artificial preservatives.

There are several reasons to Buy, consume, and seek out Organic foods, next time I will go into some of the reasons Organics should make up a significant amount of what you eat...
