CERTIFIED ORGANIC GROWING
Our farming operation and processing are certified organic by the New Jersey Department of Agriculture, and their certification standards meet or exceed the USDA National Organic Program rules.  Basically, “organic” means that we use no chemical fertilizers or pesticides, and we don’t add chemicals to our products.  Non-organic popcorn is grown with chemical fertilizers, weed-killing herbicides, and is usually fumigated with pesticides between the time of harvest and the time you buy it.  Organic farming is not easy, but it produces quality food, preserves soil, protects water quality, and creates a sustainable agriculture for the future.  Buying from local farmers like us helps preserve farmland, open space and the environment of your community.
