Most people have heard of the term ‘organic’, but what does it actually mean, and does it really matter?🌳 While the health and welfare benefits for animals in the meat and dairy industry are very significant, the positives for soils and natural environments in the crop industry are too.
🌿🌿🌿
Organic produce has been grown in healthier soil without artificial fertilisers. Crops are grown with fewer herbicides and pesticides relying instead on meticulously cared for, healthy eco systems which in turn encourage a diversity of wildlife to thrive. Organically managed soils store much more carbon and much more water than industrially farmed soils. Organic crops, fruit and veg are not genetically modified and research indicates they are often higher in important nutrients such as polyphenols.

So organic really does matter. It’s a sustainable farming system relevant to climate change, the natural environment, wildlife and people!🌍At Juniper you can find all of your staples and essentials in tip-top organic form!
