We promote healthy organic coffee on our website. But what is the point of drinking organic coffee if you do not adopt an organic approach to the rest of what you eat and drink?

The USDA and Organic Food

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1007/where-to-find-organic-ingredients/

The United States Department of Agriculture is the main certifier of organic foods and beverages. The USDA directly certifies producers within the United States.

Outside of the USA the USDA delegates this job to organizations like Bio Latina in Lima, Peru. In either case, USDA certification allows the producer to put the USDA seal on its package.

When you use the USDA seal you know that it is organic. Here is what the USDA says:

USDA is committed to helping organic agriculture grow and thrive. To help meet Secretary Vilsack's goal of increasing the number of certified organic operations, USDA is delivering results through its many programs which serve the growing organic sector. October 2012 marked the 10th anniversary of the USDA Organic Seal, and we are proud that it has become a leading global standard.

What is Organic Agriculture?

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1007/where-to-find-organic-ingredients/

Organic agriculture produces products using methods that preserve the environment and avoid most synthetic materials, such as pesticides and antibiotics. USDA organic standards describe how farmers grow crops and raise livestock and which materials they may use.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1007/where-to-find-organic-ingredients/

Organic farmers, ranchers, and food processors follow a defined set of standards to produce organic food and fiber. Congress described general organic principles in the Organic Foods Production Act, and the USDA defines specific organic standards. These standards cover the product from farm to table, including soil and water quality, pest control, livestock practices, and rules for food additives.

Organic farms and processors:

Preserve natural resources and biodiversity Support animal health and welfare Provide access to the outdoors so that animals can

exercise their natural behaviors Only use approved materials Do not use genetically modified ingredients Receive annual onsite inspections Separate organic food from non-organic food
