What is Organic?

Organic products conform to the Organic Foods Production Act. The principal guidelines for organic production are to use materials and practices that enhance the ecological balance of natural systems and that integrate the parts of the farming system into an ecological whole. Organic farming includes crop rotation to maintain sustainable growth and use of natural fertilizers.
