Certified Organic. Always Delicious.
Organic food and farming are good for you and the planet.
What Does Organic Mean?
Our ingredients are grown on certified organic farms, which use farming techniques that center on ecological processes, fostering biodiversity, healthy soil, and natural systems rather than chemical interventions and inputs. All Cascadian Farm products are certified organic, which means we proudly purchase our ingredients from organic farmers.
Making a World of Difference
Promoting Ecological Balance
Organic is a farming system that fosters the cycling of resources, promotes ecological harmony, and conserves biodiversity.
Regenerating Soil Health
Organic farmers must maintain or improve soil health with practices like cover cropping, composting, crop rotations, and appropriate tillage—all without synthetic fertilizers.
Reducing Chemical Pollution
Organic farmers rely on natural pest and disease control strategies, like maximizing crop diversity, rather than on synthetic pesticides. They also skip the use of chemical fertilizers and herbicides—protecting our environment from chemical pollution.
Cultivating Pollinator Habitats
We’re proud to partner with the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation to plant pollinator habitats, like flowering cover crops in orchards and hedgerows, on supplier farms.
A Natural Benefit
Purchasing organic products means supporting organic farming, which makes you part of the solution.
By farming in harmony with nature, organic farms have benefits on and off the farm, including:
- Maintaining or improving the health of the soil, a critical resource for growing food into the future
- Addressing the climate crisis by reducing the use of energy-intensive inputs and lowering greenhouse gases
- Protecting water quality from harmful chemicals
A Difference You Can Count on
Organic farms support 30% higher biodiversity and up to 50% higher abundance of species.
For beneficial insects including pollinators, organic farms have 22% higher pollinator diversity and 36% higher abundance compared to conventional farms.
