WHAT IS ORGANIC?

or-gan-ic

(of food or farming methods) produced or involving production without the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or other artificial agents.

heir-loom

denoting a traditional variety of plant or breed of animal which is not associated with large-scale commercial agriculture.

dry-land farm-ing

a method of farming in semiarid areas without the aid of irrigation, using drought-resistant crops and conserving moisture.

WHY ORGANIC?

USDA certified organic foods are grown and processed according to federal guidelines addressing, among many factors, soil quality, animal raising practices, pest and weed control, and use of additives. Organic producers rely on natural substances and physical, mechanical, or biologically based farming methods to the fullest extent possible.

Our Organic Walnuts are never chemically treated. They are gluten-free and Non-GMO.

Organic Walnuts have more beneficial health benefits. Organic Walnuts are loaded with omega 3's and omega 6's. Supportive but not conclusive research shows that eating 1.5oz. of Walnuts per day, as part of a low saturated fat and low cholesterol diet, and not resulting in increased caloric intake may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
