Ahavah Farm - Local. Sustainable. Pure

I remember one time being at the Farmer's Market and a woman asked me if we were "Organic." I told her about how we went well beyond "Organic" and she laughed. Really. Out loud. She didn't believe that Organic wasn't pure. Little do people know how sad the Organic certification has become and how little it resembles pure food. Better than GMO? Yes! But, really, it's almost like comparing Cyanide to Sugar. Sure, sugar is much better than Cyanide, but it by no means is going to cure you from cancer! Sugar is still not good for you...and dare I say, perhaps "Organic" isn't either. Check out this eye-opening article that I came across from don'twastethecrumbs.com where it lists the top 14 things that the Organic Industry is hiding from you, the consumer.  Then, after you are thoroughly disgusted, you can leave your thoughts below. http://dontwastethecrumbs.com/2015/03/14-facts-the-organic-industry-doesnt-want-you-to-know/

Beyond-Organic. Beyond-Sustainable. Beyond-Labels. Tag-lines. Catch-Phrases. Labels… Greenwashing.  We HATE labels.  Really, what are they but marketing tools anyway?  We have them and use them like everyone else, but really,   how do you know if your farmer truly is what he/she says they are?   They say they are “Regenerative,” “Beyond-Organic,” “Pure,” “Sustainable” and that their animals are “Grass-fed,” “Pasture Raised,” “Humanely Raised,” “Free-Ranged,” but are they REALLY?  There’s only one way to know for sure.  That’s why  we open our farm to the public for tours, to come and volunteer, to visit our farm store (open Spring 2018) and see the property , to visit with our animals, to walk our fields and ultimately to build a relationship with YOU!  Want to see what we use for fertilizer? Ask! Want to see the condition the chicken’s live in?...
