The Organic Trade Association (OTA) invites you to celebrate Organic Harvest Month, throughout September. Because you have chosen to buy organic, you are already celebrating in a very personal way!

The OTA would like to pass this message on to all consumers: "Organic production systems are designed to replenish and maintain soil fertility, eliminate the use of toxic and persistent chemical pesticides and fertilizers, and build a biologically diverse agriculture." We, as consumers, are an integral part of this system, and should be proud!

To help us continue to celebrate Organic Harvest Month, the OTA has put together the following list of ideas:

1. Prepare one meal with as many organic ingredients as possible.

2. Go shopping and fill one bag with ALL organic products. Check the freezer section, beauty department and canned goods.

3. Wear organic clothing, everything from socks to sweaters.

4. Indulge yourself with organic chocolate, wine and bath oils.

5. Say "Thank You" to an organic grower, producer or those who bring organic foods to your table…

Thank you Lisa, David, and all our “HomeGrown Heroes”!!
