Organic fruits and vegetables offer several potential benefits, both for personal health and the environment. Here are some of the key advantages associated with consuming organic produce and the fruit and veg used in our juices:

-
Organic farming has lower environmental impact than conventional farming. It promotes healthy soil, reduces erosion, and minimizes water pollution.

Organic farming extends to animal products like eggs, dairy, and meat. Animals raised organically have more space to roam, access to the outdoors, and a diet that meets organic standards.
-
Organic Farms are havens for wildlife. On average, plant, insect and bird life is 50% more abundant on organic farms and there are around 75% more wild bees.
-
Choose organic to support local economies and smaller-scale farmers.

Organic animal products are antibiotic and hormone-free.
Despite the challenges, it's important to note that organic farming practices offer numerous benefits. Although it may require more labour and resources, the lower yields compared to conventional methods are outweighed by the nutritional differences and overall value of organic produce.
