When a food is labeled “organic,” it means that certain farming methods were used in its production. Organic farmers used ecologically-based practices such as cultural and biological pest management and the exclusion of all synthetic chemicals, antibiotics, and hormones in crop and livestock production.   Organic food production has benefits for everyone, including: Pesticides do not contaminate food and water supplies. Safer environments are created for farm workers. Not using chemical fertilizers helps maintains cleaner rivers, lakes, oceans and drinking water. A healthier environment is sustained for all of us, wherever we live, and for our children. According to USDA regulations, products labeled as “organic” must contain a minimum of 95% organic ingredients. That means the ingredients in Little Green House Organic products, including chocolate, butter, cream, and sugar, are all organic.
