The beef I raised my self and it is organic beef. The onions, tomatoes, peppers I grew and they also was organic. The tomato sauce I canned myself and I knew what was in the sauce.
I have a garden I am now in the process of canning Chile sauce from the veggies I have grown myself and they are organic veggies. I also pickled okra that was grown organic. I am storing up for the winter and my food I am putting up is organic food I grew myself. Anyone can do this even if you live in an apartment house. ( not the raiseing of a steer just veggies)
Yes, it is a little work but this winter when the snow is blowing and it is so cold out side I already have my organic supplies inside. Another plus, by doing the work of putting up your food now will help out when the prices goes up this winter on the veggies this winter.

Keeping your Mother safe and healthy is the most important part.

More consumers are seeking certified organic meats.  Consumers want their meat to be free of synthetic hormones, pesticide and antibiotics.  Organic meat is meat from which animals have humane treatment and plenty of room to roam in the sunshine, fresh air and graze on the fields like nature intended.  It is important that meat that is wholesome and nutritious for your families.   It does not matter if the meat is beef, pork, chicken or lamb, certified organic is the way to go for our meat choice.

I enjoy buying my coffee from starbucks because they sell an organic whole bean in a one pound bag. Today I wanted decaf so I looked on the starbucks website but couldn’t find an organic decaf. After milling around on the net it occured to me my best bet would be at a whole foods market. It was a little bit of a drive but when I got there I was so excited. The whole foods market had a large selection of freshly roasted organic decaf beans available by the scoop. I just scooped up what I thought I would use this week and was on my way. They even have the date it was roasted! Now I have a small bag of coffee beans that where roasted today and I’m about to enjoy a cup of organic decaf coffee. :lol:
