Do you really Want Pesticides Polluting Your Body...and Your Kids?


Why do we insist on serving you organic JOOS?

As you've probably heard multiple times by now, organic produce does not contain pesticides, which wreak havoc on your system and can cause several diseases. Pesticides can also significantly damage our eco-system.

Natural, undisturbed soil is alive with microbiotic organisms that exist in harmony with the native plant life and the inorganic minerals that provide the soil's substrate.

Synthetic chemicals (such as herbicides, pesticides, and/or fast acting inorganic fertilizers) applied in or around crops interrupt or destroy the microbiotic activity in the soil. Once the microbiotic activity in the soil has stopped, the soil is essentially dead, according to The Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association.

Here is a succinct article that lists the top 10 reasons why we should eat organic foods:
