Why Organic?

For Your Health
Choosing organic products, such as fruits and vegetables, for you and your family is one of the healthiest choices you can make. That's because organic products are minimally processed without harmful herbicides & pesticides, preservatives, artificial ingredients or irradiation

The result is a purer, healthier, more nutritious product that you can feel good about. SimplyGrown's attention to grow 100% pure produce is premier.

Organic implies the idea that the product is as close to nature as possible. It's simple and it's healthy. Not only is your intake and exposure to pesticides minimized with the consumption of organic products, but research has found the presence of higher levels of many important vitamins and nutrients. Some of the most dominant nutrients are Vitamin C, iron, calcium and magnesium. Organic produce has also been shown to contain significantly higher levels of antioxidants - those important 'helpers' to the immune system.

For The Environment
When you choose an organic product, you're choosing to help sustain the environment too. You're promoting a safer, healthier standard of production. Before a product can be labeled organic, the grower must become organically certified. Organic certification is a detailed process that can take up to three or more years.

Strict guidelines must be followed by all organic producers. Before organic certification, all land used to produce any organic product must be completely free of toxins, persistent chemicals and fertilizers. Organic growers and processors are required to keep detailed records of the methods and materials used throughout the entire production process.

This detailed process of certification promotes an organic integrity from one producer to the next, ensuring the consumer that they are receiving an entirely authentic, organic product.

Additionally, growers must be able to identify the origin of raw materials from finished product back to the fields in which it was grown. A USDA-accredited certifier conducts annual inspections on all methods and materials used. This detailed process of certification promotes an organic integrity from one producer to the next, ensuring the consumer that they are receiving an entirely authentic, organic product.
