Conventional Farming and “Big”

Agriculture… Rely on the use of growth promoters, antibiotics, synthetic fertilizers, GMO’s and hazardous herbicides & pesticides.

Synthetic fertilizers deplete the nutritional content of food and contaminate water sources.

GMO’s can pose serious health implications by increasing the developmental risk of new toxins, bacteria, diseases and antibiotic resistance.

Eat Locally: Shop at your local farmer’s market for food produced in an environmentally and ethically responsible manner

No GMO’s

No Hazardous chemicals
