Why is it so important to buy organic? Here are 3 reasons to make the change:

1. Organic contains fewer pesticides, no antibiotics, or hormones are given to animals 

2. Organic uses less water as the runoff water doesn’t contain toxic chemicals so it can be recycled to nourish the plants, additionally they rotate the crops to keep the soil from being depleted unlike conventional farming 

3. Organic has to be GMO-Free e.g. the food can’t be genetically modified or engineered to create a higher yield or pesticide resistant 

Top foods to buy organic (use the highest amounts of pesticides):

  • apples

  • peppers

  • cucumbers

  • celery

  • potatoes

  • grapes

  • strawberries

  • cherry tomatoes

  • kale/collard greens/spinach

  • squash

  • nectarines/peaches
