What is the definition of Organic Fruit? Organic refers to the way agricultural products are grown and processed. Organic food production is based on a system of farming that maintains and replenishes soil fertility through the use of biological pest control, rather than chemical. Organic foods are minimally processed without artificial ingredients, preservatives or irradiation. Organic agriculture combines both old and new ideas and practices to produce healthy, tasty vitamin-rich crops.
Why should I buy Organic Fruit? There are many reasons – from the environmental costs of chemical agriculture to the desire to support family farms.
  • Organic orcharding protects the land for future generations
  • Organic apples and fruit meet stringent standards
  • Organic fruit taste great.
  • Organic production reduces health risks from chemicals
Studies have found chemical residues in many of the foods we currently consume, the long-term health effects of which are highly suspect. By eating organically produced fruits and vegetables, consumers can avoid and reduce their exposure risk.
Look for the Organic Seal. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has put in place a set of national standards that food labeled "organic" must meet, whether it is grown in the United States or imported from other countries. After October 21, 2002, when you buy food labeled "organic," you can be sure that it was produced using the highest organic production and handling standards in the world.
