What’s In Your
Organic Garden
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.
