Why Organic?

My Backyard Market is created by mindful people who believe in caring for each other and the environment. 

​

Choosing organic is choosing the environment. 

 

Organic means no chemical pesticide, no artificial colours and preservatives, no routine use of antibiotics, non GMO and organic animals are always free range. 

Plants can and do absorb toxins and bad nutrients from the time they are seedlings which can harm them and eventually us. For example, if you use pesticides and non-organic fertilizer you are taking away the plant’s ability to properly produce phytochemical (vitamins and antioxidants) that help them build resistance to bugs and weeds.  That why organic foods have a higher nutritional value.

 

This is why we only choose organic seeds and soil to ensure optimal conditions from seed to plate.
