organic produce
Organic produce refers to fruits and vegetables grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms. Farmers use natural methods such as compost, crop rotation, and biological pest control to nurture the plants. The goal is to reduce environmental impact and avoid chemical residues, often resulting in produce that is fresher and feels more natural. Organic certifications verify that standards are met. While it may sometimes be more costly, many choose organic for reasons related to health, sustainability, and supporting environmentally friendly farming practices.
