In today’s world, environmental issues and the health of our families have become growing concerns. We have to take action to persevere our environment for future generations. At the same time, increasing health risks demand we have to ensure that our future generations are around to enjoy the environment we are working so hard to protect. Enter organic food products. Not only do our families receive the benefits of eating healthier foods, the farmers who grow organic crops cause indisputably less damage to the environment.
Certified Organic
During a routine visit to the grocery store you can find organic products on most of the shelves. From cereal to pastas, and all in between, more suppliers are providing organic alternatives for all of the food we commonly consume. With all of this new merchandise available, what assurance do consumers have that the suppliers are genuinely providing organic products? Look for products that are certified organic. The United States requires farmers to be certified by an accredited agency sanctioned by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Requirements for certification include farming without prohibited substances like synthetic pesticides.
Don’t Forget the Organic Coffee
When you are out shopping for healthy products, don’t forget organic coffee. Conventional coffee is sometimes processed with chemicals like methylene chloride, which has been found to be harmful for central nervous system and potentially carcinogenic, or ethyl acetate, which is possibly harmful to the central nervous system, liver, and kidneys. Organic coffee uses the SWISS WATER® process and is much safer and healthier for your family. Data from the Organic Trade association estimates that U.S. consumers purchased over $110 million worth of organic coffee products in 2006. It is also estimated that approximately 65 million pounds of organic coffee were imported in 2007 with a 33 percent annual growth rate. Data also shows that organic coffee’s global sales reached about 148 million pounds in 2006.
Organic coffee is grown without the use of synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. Organic farming also ensures that the products are free of genetically modified organisms, which ensures a safer, healthier organic coffee. Coffee product that contains 95 to 100 percent organic ingredients and were grown by certified organic farmers will feature the USDA organic seal. Peru is the top exporter of organic coffee, followed by Ethiopia, and Mexico but there are actually 40 different countries around the world that also export it. Organic coffee accounts for over two-thirds of all organic products produced in Mexico, proving to be the highest percent of land used to grow crops except for vanilla.
Since its establishment, Nectar of Life Coffee Co. has become representative of exceptional gourmet organic coffee. They are an extraordinary company that has remained firmly embedded in the principles of ecological and social responsibility. Nectar of Life chooses only the finest Arabica coffee beans from Fair Trade suppliers for the production of their organic coffees. Not only are they USDA and Fair Trade certified organic coffee roasters, they are also certified kosher. Fair Trade is a beneficial social movement that alleviates global poverty and promotes social sustainability, especially for developing countries seeking self-sufficiency.
Nectar of Life is certified in accordance to USDA Organic guidelines as well as a registered coffee roaster with the Vaad HaRabanim of Greater Seattle, Swiss Water, and TransfairUSA. They are committed to selling only the best and whenever possible, they purchase shade grown organic coffee beans. Shade grown, organic coffee beans not only produce a more robust flavor, they also assist in providing suitable habitation for birds. Bird Friendly certification is available through the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center for farmers who meet inspection and certification requirements.

The Right Way To Get Started In Raised Bed Gardening
Raised bed gardening is an fascinating alternative to regular gardening and has just a few advantages. In case you look intently at peoples gardens today, you might discover raised bed gardens moving in, or taking over. Gardening could be a enjoyable activity, and not to point out a productive one. Growing your own food can yield advantages of its own, and keep you from being bored.
First issues first, raised bed gardening deals with raised bed gardens obviously. A raised bed garden is a garden that is planted inside of a body and is usually a number of inches to a few feet high. These frames may be comprised of stone, wood, or whatever else you wish to use. This will seem a bit odd at first, but it surely does have its advantages.
The first one to note is it is simpler for seniors, and other people with unhealthy backs to work on. Since the garden can be as high as you need it, there is not any bending over required. Even individuals confined to wheelchairs or with restricted mobility can take pleasure in this type of gardening.
Not to mention the standard of the plants, and foods yielded from these garden types is considerably better.
Since the soil in a raised bed garden is just not on the bottom, and no one is stepping on it, it is not as compacted as ground soil. This is one other advantage that raised bed gardening has over regular gardening. When soil isn’t compacted, it permits plant roots to spread out easier, thus permitting the plant to grow and thrive higher than it would on the ground. Thus, raised bed gardens can outperform normal gardens on this aspect.
Not that this is a race or something, but for these among us that grow our own food this may be very important. You possibly can develop anything you need in some of these gardens; it does not need to be just flowers. Fruits, vegetables, and just about anything else that may grow in ground soil will grow in a raised garden as well. You possibly can see how this is usually a enjoyable venture to have around the house, or a strategy to train your kids about gardening.
One different thing to notice is that raised gardening would not have to be done outside. As long as you’ve got loads of solar, and access to water you possibly can have your garden indoors. Of course, this is nothing new; many of us have our gardens indoors these days. This may make it easier to handle especially for those who do not need to depart the house, or if it’s raining outside.
In closing, raised bed gardening is an interesting alternative to regular gardening methods. Raised bed gardens are easier to succeed in, and tend to creating them best for people in dangerous well being, or up in age. Not to mention they make attention-grabbing 1, and conversation pieces. As with all gardens, you’ll be able to develop your individual fruits and vegetables, although I would discourage growing corn inside your house on a waist high counter. Until you might have a very tall ceiling, it would get a bit crowded.
