Why Certified Organic

The desire of farmers, fruit and vegetable growers and others to produce quality foods in a manner that builds the soil and does not pollute the environment is the driving force in choosing the organic approach.

Consumer demand is the key reason for certified organic--a need to ensure that products purchased meet important standards in the journey from the field to the table. Please refer to our Organic Links page to find more information on Canadian and International standards.

There is a strong and steady growth worldwide in the consumption of certified organic products. Certified organic products return a premium price to the producer and provides quality food to the increasingly health conscious consumer.

Look for certified organic products in your favourite supermarket or farmers market.
