organic foods

Chemically untreated groceries

Foods produced without synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, antibiotics, or genetic modification.

Organic farming relies on natural methods—crop rotation, composting, biological pest control.

The term implies healthier or more environmentally responsible production, though the science on nutritional differences remains contested.

We buy organic whenever we can afford it.
