Organic produce is grown without the use of pesticides and minimizes the use of off-farm inputs. In general, Organic produce is also greater in nutrients because the plants are allowed to grow fully and the soil has time to regenerate - according to nature's timeframe. In many cases, organic produce had 2 to 3 times more vitamins and antioxidants than non-organic samples.

Pesticides, hormones and antibiotics can affect a baby's under-developed immune and digestive system and has been linked to developmental problems. Organic agricultural practices seek to optimize the health and productivity of interdependent communities of soil life, plants, animals and people.

Not only is Organic safer for baby, but organic foods have been found to taste better too. Why not start your baby on the best tasting, most nutritious, safest food available?



Implemented in 2002, the USDA Organics certification system went through over a decade of development. For packaged foods, only products that contain at least 95% organically produced ingredients (the other 5% must come from an approved National Organic Program list) can use the seal on its packaging and must be made in facilities that are certified to meet strict USDA Organic guidelines. Certified by an independent third-party, all USDA products must show documentation that allows full traceability from the retailer shelves to the field where the organic ingredients were grown.

Plum Organics products are proud to bear the USDA Organic seal and are certified Organic by Oregon Tilth.



GMO means Genetically Modified Organism. It is an agricultural practice that has been initiated to create greater yield in the growing of certain crops by splicing genes and cross breeding different specie strains to generate larger fruits and vegetables with greater yield. It is a practice that has created a lot of controversy because it impacts the nutritional value of produce and the future of sustainable agriculture. By using only organically grown produce, Plum Organics is a non-GMO product.
