Organic Garden
What’s In Your
by Ashley Grano
Organic food has been
mainstream for a while now,
and is becoming the preferred
choice over conventional
food in nearly every category.
Various industry sources estimate that
U.S. sales of organic products totals more
than $30 billion annually, according to
the Nutrition Business Journal. Produce
accounts for nearly 43 percent, ranking as
the largest sector of all organic food sales.
Further, it is important to consider organic
for nearly everything the body is exposed to
externally, as well, including even flowers
brought into the home. When grown
organically, flowers have no toxic chemical
usage, which translates to long-term
sustainability of farmland, increased safety
for farmers, the environment, and ourselves,
according to Organic Bouquet.
