10 REASONS TO EATORGANIC FOOD

PROTECT FUTURE GENERATIONS

The food choice you make now will impact your child’s health inthe future.

PREVENT SOIL EROSION

Soil is the foundation of the food chain in organic farming.

PROTECT WATER QUALITY

Water makes up two-third of our body mass and covers three-fourths of the planet.

SAVE ENERGY

Organic produce also tends to travel a shorter distance from thefarm to your plate.

KEEP CHEMICALS OFF YOUR PLATE

Now the EPA considers that 60 percent of all herbicides, 90percent of all fungicides and 30 percent of all insecticides are

carcinogenic.

PROTECT FARM WORKER’S HEALTH

An estimated 1 million people are poisoned annually by pesticides.

HELP SMALL FARMERS

Most organic farms are small independently owned andoperated family farms of less than 100 acres.

SUPPORT A TRUE ECONOMY

Conventional food prices do not reflect hidden cost borne bytaxpayers, including nearly $74 billion in federal subsidies in1988. Other hidden costs include pesticide regulation and

testing, hazardous waste disposal and clean up, andenvironmental damage.

PROMOTE BIODIVERSITY

Biodiversity is nature’s way of creating resilience. Organic methodsencourage a diversity of crops, soil organisms and beneficial

insects.

TO TASTE BETTER FLAVOR

There’s a good reasons many chefs use organic foods in theirrecipes. They taste better.

AND THIS JUST IN, ORGANIC FARMING HELPS COMBAT GLOBALCLIMATE CHANGE!

~4~

10 REASONS TO BUYLOCAL FOOD

LOCALLY GROWN OR PRODUCED FOOD TASTES BETTER.

In the week long (or more) delay from harvest to dinner table,sugars turn to starches, plant cells shrink and produce

loses it vitality.

LOCAL PRODUCE IS BETTER FOR YOU.A recent study showed that fresh produce

loses nutrients quickly.

LOCAL FOOD PRESERVES GENETIC DIVERSITY.Local farms grow a huge number of varieties to provide a long

season of harvest, an array of eye-catching colors and the best flavors.

LOCAL FOOD IS GMO FREE.Small and local farms are less likely to use

genetically engineered seeds.

LOCAL FOOD SUPPORTS LOCAL FARM FAMILIES.Local farmers who sell direct to customers get full price for

their food.

LOCAL FOOD BUILDS COMMUNITY.When you buy direct from the farmer, you are re-establishinga time-honored connection between the eater and the grower.

LOCAL FOOD PRESERVES OPEN SPACE.When you buy locally grown food, you are doing something

proactive about preserving the agricultural landscape.

LOCAL FOOD KEEPS YOUR TAXES IN CHECK.Farms contribute more in taxes than they require in services.

LOCAL FOOD SUPPORTS A CLEAN ENVIRONMENT AND

BENEFITS WILDLIFE.A well-managed family farm is a place where the resources of

fertile soil and clean water are valued and the perfectenvironment for many species of wildlife.

LOCAL FOOD IS ABOUT THE FUTURE.By supporting local farmers today, you can help ensure that

there will be farms in your community tomorrow.

Adapted from the MFA Digest.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BECERTIFIED ORGANIC?

A Certified Organicfarm/producer is in compliancewith the National OrganicProgram (NOP) standards andhas been inspected and certifiedby an accredited USDA(United States Department ofAgriculture) certifying agent.Certified Organic productshave been grown/raised withoutthe use of synthetic fertilizers,pesticides, growth hormones,irradiation, or geneticengineering. The certificationprocess is rigorous and requiresextensive record keeping,payment of an annual fee, andan annual inspection. Foradditional information on theNOP, please visit the USDA atwww.ams.usda.gov/nop

WHAT IS THE FARMER’SPLEDGE?

The Farmer’s Pledge is acommitment to farming,marketing, and farmmanagement in accordancewith the set of sound ecologicaland economic principles. Thereis no inspection process for thisdesignation, but the farmershave signed the Farmer’s Pledgeto show their commitment toits principles. Each farm has acopy of it’s signed Pledge, asdoes CT NOFA. http://nofany.org/farmerspledge.htm

10 REASONS TO CHOOSEORGANIC LAWN CARE

Adapted from a fact sheet by theOrganic Landscape Alliance, Toronto, Canada

http://www.organiclandscape.org/ (Used with permission) For fuller explanations

of the ten points, please visit the above website.

Chemical pesticides and fertilizers contaminate

surface and groundwater.

Chemical pesticides threaten the health of

children.

Chemical pesticides threaten the health of

outdoor pets.

Chemical pesticides threaten the health of local

wildlife.

Chemical pesticides and fertilizers reduce the

activity of beneficial organisms.

Local wildlife need safe places to live.

Chemical fertilizers are a waste of money.

Chemical pesticides have the potential to cause

damage throughout their lifecycles.

Chemicals actually degrade the over-all long-

term health of your lawn and garden.

Lawn chemicals are unnecessary.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE

AN ACCREDITED ORGANIC

LAND CARE PROFESSIONAL?

• Practice minimal processing for all food products to preserve the natural nutritional value of food:NO use of irradiation, ultra-pasteurization, excessive heat, synthetic preservatives, or GMOprocessing agents or additives;

• Reduce the ecological footprint of farms and homes by limiting energy use and converting torenewable sources of energy;

• Reduce food miles by selling produce locally and regionally;

• Create beneficial habitat for wildlife and encourage biodiversity;

• Help preserve farmland and farming know-how;

• Ensure food safety by using potable water for washing crops;

• Sustain the land in healthy condition for future generations.

Farmer’s Pledge 2004March 2005-February 2006

Knowing your farmer is the best assurance that the food you buy is responsibly grown with methods that recognize the inherentimplications for the web of life in all of our individual actions. The Connecticut Northeast Organic Farming Association (CTNOFA) believes that farmers should work in harmony with natural forces and leave the little piece of the world over which theyhave stewardship in better condition than when they found it.

To further enable consumers to identify the farms they want to support with their food dollars, CT NOFA is using the Farmer’sPledge, separate and distinct from USDA Certified Organic. Farmers and market gardeners who adhere to the following pledgehave signed a copy they display for customers and neighbors to view. This pledge is based on the integrity of the farmer/gardener.Those who sign the pledge agree that consumers may inspect, by appointment, their farm/garden to judge the truthfulness of thisstatement. CT NOFA does not investigate or make any guarantee that the individual farmer is complying with the Farmer’s Pledge.
