| Facts on Organics

What is Organic?
Certified Organic products are grown and processed without the use of synthetic chemicals,
fertilisers, or GMOs. It is an innovative method of farming and production and is
increasingly being recognised as being on the leading edge of food and fibre technology
into the future.
Organics is not just chemical free by testing. It is about the way your food is grown and
handled. The whole system is linked - Soil. Plants. Animals. Food. People. Environment.
Standards to achieve this are internationally recognised, and are assured through annual
audits of all certified operators by an independent third party auditor.

Why Organic?
Some people buy organic produce because they are concerned about pesticides, antibiotics or other chemical residues in food. Although pesticide residues in fruit and vegetables are monitored in Australia, they believe organic food is healthier.
Others appreciate that organic foods promote a healthier and more sustainable use of the environment, and more humane treatment of animals. Also, some people worry about the possible long term health, economic and environmental consequences of GM foods and prefer to support an industry that doesn't use GM techniques.
