Are You Eating Organic and Raw?

Are you eating organic and raw? Well you now can at Holders Farmers Market.
We have all heard the word because lately, that is what everyone is buzzing about..organic. So what does it actually mean and why should you care? Well, organic food is food which has been produced using methods that:
* Do not involve synthetic inputs such as modern synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilizers
* Do not contain genetically modified organisms
* Are not processed using irradiation, industrial solvents or chemical food additives.

This all means that the food which is produced organically is clean and like in all aspects of life the cleaner the better!

Eating organic has many benefits not only for your body and mind but also for your environment. Below are a few but important benefits of eating organic.

* Organic foods do not have pesticide, herbicide or fungicide residue on it. Who wants to be digesting food which contains all of these dangerous chemicals?
* Organic foods allow for less choline chemistry in our environment and reduce off farm pollution
* Organic foods are not genetically engineered IE it is real
