What is organic?

Organic produce is grown and processed without the use of synthetic chemicals, artificial fertilisers, food irradiation or genetically modified ingredients (GMOs). It is an innovative method of farming and production focusing on the health of the soil and utilises the best of both traditional agriculture and modern techniques to produce nutritious produce with minimal intervention. 

In organic farming the whole system is linked including soil, plants, food, people and the environment. 

Standards to achieve this are internationally recognised and are assured through annual audits of all certified operators by an independent third party auditor. Buying certified organic means that the produce has passed stringent requirements of a 3-year certification process, ensuring integrity for the consumer. Our warehouse, distribution and production facility are fully certified by Australian Certified Organic (ACO).

Whilst we are aware that there are falsely claimed organic products available on the market, we can assure you that anything we state to be organic supply, truly is organic. Not only does ACO have these strict criteria regarding their certification process, as part of their audit process they collect random samples and conduct pesticide testing to ensure their standards are upheld.

Being a certified organic company means our warehouse and production facility are not fumigated. We follow strict food handling guidelines and have a quality management system in place to ensure the best possible products are available for our customers

If you have any other questions about the ACO certifying process, you may wish to contact them directly: ACO or phone: 07 3350 5706.
