Certified Naturally Grown as an alternative to Certified Organic
CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) producers use only natural sustainable methods in growing produce and raising animals. This organization is run by framers and does not have the high fees or other items that raise the costs of products. There fields have been in hay for some time with no chemicals or pesticides used on them. The poultry is pasture fed with no hormones or antibiotics.
"Farming cannot take place except in Nature, therefore, if Nature does not thrive, farming cannot thrive. But we know too that Nature includes us. It is not a place into which we can reach from some safe standpoint outside it. We are in it and are a part of it while we use it. If it does not thrive, we cannot thrive. The appropriate measure of farming then is the world's health and our health and it is inescapably one measure." Wendell Berry
