Healthy food from healthy sources is a core concept of sustainable living. Just because you have visited this website, you’re probably very aware of the value of organic food for your body.

Step 3: Support Organic Farms and Ecofriendly Fisheries

• They nurture a rich, living matrix of microorganisms and nutrients that sustain plant and animal life.
• They provide the highest quality, healthiest food possible.
• Their sustainable agricultural practices nurture the health of the earth and keep countless toxic pesticides and herbicides from the earth, rivers, streams and ground water.

By buying from organic farmers and ecofriendly fisheries, we can eat the most nourishing, healthy food on Earth.

The roots of the modern organic movement lie in the soils of the organic farm, where families labor, caring for the land and providing close supervision of crops and animals.

Most of us know the health benefits of eating fatty cold water fish like salmon, tuna and cod. Cold water fatty fish is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, but even ocean-caught fish can be a source of environmental toxins, including mercury.

Teas

Delicious organic teas can also be a part of your sustainability commitment.

All of our green and oolong teas come from the pristine Wuyi Mountains of China’s Fujian Province, the country’s premier producing region for high quality tea. This mountainous semi-tropical rain forest in the southeastern part of the country with its average of 110 days of fog per year is an ideal growing climate for fine teas.

• Tea has been grown in these beautiful mountains for more than 1,000 years.
• No artificial fertilizers or pesticides are used in the production of the tea.
• Tea plants are hand fertilized with compost and neem and castor oil cakes that not only fertilize the soil, the neem acts as a natural insect repellant.
• The organic teas we buy are hand harvested in sustainable economies that ensures workers a living wage.
