The Benefits of Going Organic

Eliminating health risks is one reason to go organic. Organic foods are grown using no synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides. Conventionally grown fruits, vegetables, and herbs often contain residues of harmful synthetic chemicals. The Environmental Protection Agency recently determined that 60% of herbicides, 90% of fungicides, and 30% of insecticides are carcinogenic. Even thoroughly washing produce before consuming doesn't eliminate all of the residues! It is pretty scary to think that every time you are getting in a healthy serving of fruits or vegetables you are also getting a dose of toxic synthetic chemicals.
These same dangerous chemicals also enter our waterways. Agricultural run-off causes these harmful chemicals to enter our lakes, rivers, groundwater, and sometimes even our drinking water! By buying organically grown produce and herbs you can help support safer, cleaner waterways.
Here at the greenhouse all of our herbs and spices are 100% organically grown. Our customers have told us numerous times that they taste better than conventionally grown herbs and we agree! They are also more potent so less is needed, making them economical as well. But don't take our word for it, try them for yourself....
