Why eat spinach? Because we use ZERO pesticides, herbicides, fungicides or chemical fertilizers. We ONLY use compost made from local inputs to feed our soil. Our produce is nutritious, flavourful and high quality.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The terms fresh, sustainable, clean, regenerative and local don't mean the food is organic. In order to be organic it needs to be free from GMO's, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and chemical fertilizers.
If the labelling or marketing associated with the food you are purchasing uses any of these terms ask if they EVER use any GMO's, herbicides, pesticides, fungicides or chemical fertilizers...if the seller cannot say no to this question, you are not purchasing organic food merely something that is trying to mimic the real thing.
Though we are not 'certified' organic, our practices exceed those required to be certified. We align our growing system with Soil Association standards in the UK and the Real Organic Project label being developed. These labels and certifications are emerging to help growers of truly organic food distinguish their farms from watered down 'certified organic' businesses.
The best way to find out how your food is produced? Get informed. Talk to a farmer. Visit the farm. Learn about their soil, farm and growing system.
