Wouldn't you prefer fruits and vegetables that tasted great, were grown without pesticides or preservatives, and were conveniently delivered within hours of being picked?
Of course you would! And that's what Off The Vine Produce delivers.
There are many benefits to going organic, here are four:
It tastes better.
It's healthier.
It's safe for your children.
It's better for the environment.
It Tastes Better
Simply put, organically grown produce tastes better. That's why so many of the finest restaurants serve it. Conventional produce is grown on huge industrial farms and may be trucked for thousands of miles and then stored for several days before reaching the customer.
Organic farms are generally much smaller and family-owned. They sell their produce to local merchants and at farmer's markets. Because they sell all their produce locally, usually within a few days of picking it, they strive to deliver the varieties of produce that emphasize flavor over longevity. Try it and compare for yourself!
It's Healthier
There is a wealth of information available about the dangers of pesticides to us and our environment. The hazards for human health include increased risk of cancer, reproductive problems, and neurological damage.
In January 1998, Consumer Reports (CR) concluded that organic food was far safer than non-organic. With respect to the health risk of pesticides on produce, CR wrote: "The government sets its limits (on pesticide exposure) as if people consume just one pesticide at a time - even though our tests, as well as the government's own monitoring, show that most produce has traces of several different pesticides. And it ignores other common sources of exposure, drinking water and home pesticides. How all these exposures might add up to affect health is uncertain."
Farm workers who are constantly exposed to pesticides may be the proverbial canary in the coal mine. CR states: "One third of pesticide-related illnesses in California involve farm workers. Studies show that farmers who work with pesticides get several kinds of cancer more often than the general public does."
