Products are considered organic if they have
not been subjected to any chemical treatment in
the fertilizer or livestock food.
Also, the farm produce has not been grown with
additional man-made hormones to make them mature
faster or grow at the same size for easier
packaging, grading and shipment.
For organic farming, the land itself must also
have been free from
artificial fertilizers, pesticides and chemicals
for at least three years
