Visit the website for more information on the Company and products. Jon & Susan Kirk are based in Emerald and are the Distributors of Organic Food for the Central Highlands Region. We have been servicing the area since 2005. Organic food refers to produce or products that have been grown or produced without the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs). This means that the food is grown in a way that is environmentally sustainable and promotes the health of the soil, water, and air. But it goes beyond just what is not used in organic farming. Organic farming also focuses on promoting biodiversity and supporting animal welfare. Farmers who adhere to organic practices prioritize crop rotation, composting, and natural pest control methods to maintain the health and balance of their ecosystems. To ensure that a product is truly organic, it must be certified by a recognized organic certification body. These organizations have strict standards and regulations in place that farms and producers must adhere to in order to be labelled as organic. This certification process involves inspections, testing, and documentation to ensure that all organic standards are being met. Choosing organic food not only benefits our health by reducing our exposure to harmful chemicals, but it also supports sustainable agriculture and helps to protect our planet. By supporting organic farming, we are contributing to the preservation of biodiversity, the conservation of natural resources, and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. So the next time you see the word “organic” on a food label, you can rest assured that it represents a commitment to healthy and sustainable farming practices. Choosing organic means choosing food that is good for you and good for the planet.
