Organic farming is an agricultural production system that promotes and enhances biological diversity. It isbased on minimal use of off-farm inputs and on management practices that restore, maintain and enhance ecological harmony.
Organic farmers believe there is an essential link between the health of the soil, the health of the plants, the health of animals and ultimatley, the health of human populations. Organic farmers must respect the environment they farm in. This is why organic farmers do not use synthetic fertilizers and pesticides and why the use of raw animal manure is strictly monitored. Strict animal welfare standards are an integral part of the organic method here in British Columbia.
