Organic produce is growing in popularity as people are becoming more aware of the impact that their food choices have not only on their own personal health but also on the environment in which they live. Organic foods have traditionally been purchased because they do not contain the pesticide residue levels found on conventionally grown food. Organic produce is produced by farmers who emphasize the use of renewable resources and the conservation of soil and water to enhance environmental quality for future generations.
