Toxin-Free Farming & Processing

“Organic agriculture protects the health of people and the planet by reducing the overall exposure to toxic chemicals from synthetic pesticides that can end up in the ground, air, water and food supply, and that are associated with health consequences, from asthma to cancer. Because organic agriculture doesn't use toxic and persistent pesticides, choosing organic products is an easy way to help protect you and your family.” (Source: Organic Trade Association website: www.ota.com) As well, buying organic products helps ensure a healthy and prosperous farm community as organic farming prohibits the use of toxic pesticides, herbicides and defoliants commonly used on growing cotton for example.

Good for the Earth

Going green and choosing products that are better for our environment is not only smart but ensures the future sustainability of our planet. What do you want to be teaching your family about how we should live life on earth and how we can and should protect the future life for our children and their children? Living naturally is now more important than ever before and choosing all natural or organic products is a great place to start. Reducing, re-using and recycling are critical steps but also consider taking more time to think about the effects of toxic substances used in our everyday life. Do it for you – do it for everyone.

You Feel Better

Thousands of chemicals, pesticides and other toxic substances are used during conventional manufacturing of everyday products like clothing, bedding, towels and soaps. These chemicals can be absorbed through the skin when you and your loved ones dress, bathe, or sleep. As a result you could have an allergic reaction, suffer from eczema or experience more serious reactions to these toxins. Switching to a natural way of living by using organic products in your home not only helps provide you some relief your afflictions but you will notice the difference immediately in the feel and quality of organic fabric and lotions on your skin. Feel stronger and more at peace with yourself and your world when you live naturally.

Healthy Start for Your Baby

There could be as many as two thousand chemicals added to your baby’s favorite blanket and it’s possible that these toxins could jeopardize your baby’s health. The textile industry uses thousands of different chemicals during conventional manufacturing of baby clothing and bedding products. These chemicals can be absorbed through your baby’s skin and possibly causing skin irritations, rashes or more serious skin and health conditions. Give your precious baby the best possible beginning in life by providing natural or organic food, clothing, toys and bedding.
