As you know, we like to talk about ways to live a fresh and healthy life. Each week, we share healthy recipes, fresh hints and swaps, or thoughtful ways to give back to those around us.

Delivering fresh and healthy produce to you and your family is what drives us, and making sure the produce we provide is Certified Organic is an integral part of our mission – it’s in our name, after all! By supporting organic agriculture, we give back to the planet that sustains us while providing you with healthier and more wholesome food.

But what does organic really mean and why is it so important? We want to share why we’re committed to organic production and what you can expect from every single Olivia’s product.

1) Non-GMO Verified. A few weeks ago we talked about genetically modified organisms, debunking what they are and how to identify whether they’re in the food you buy.  At Olivia’s, there is no mystery when it comes to GMOs -- all of our ingredients and all of our products are Non-GMO Verified.

2) Natural Fertilizer. You won’t find our organic farmers using any synthetic or chemical fertilizers. We rely on earth-friendly methods to naturally increase the fertility of the soil. These techniques include crop rotation and the addition of natural minerals. By using natural fertilizers, we’re providing our customers with safe and healthy produce today and preserving sustainable and fertile farm land for generations to come.

3) Renewable Resources. Our organic farmers prioritize the use of renewable resources when cultivating their crops, supporting a more robust and sustainable agricultural system. We recycle naturally occurring materials, conserving natural resources and significantly reducing greenhouse gas and carbon emissions.

4) Radiation Free. We want each of our products to be as healthy and nutritious as can be. We never treat our produce with gamma rays, x-rays or other forms of ionizing radiation that reduce nutritional content and can compromise the delicious flavors you have come to expect from Olivia’s.
