Herbal Remedies - Organic Olive Oil - ALL --now organic wheat

March 23, 2004

Good question! What saith those in the know here on organics? Here is what i found on the site:

Q. What is the difference between the “Organic Certification” and Wheat Montana's “Chemical Free Status”?Wheat Montana’s products are not “certified organic”, however grains grown on our farm are “chemical/pesticide free” proven via an independent lab test for 125 different Herbicides, Organochlorine, and Organophosphorus Pesticides, as well as Semi-volatile organics. Organic farming procedures benefit both the consumer and the environment. Wheat Montana Farms believes in the value of organic farming but we take our process one step further and subject our products to a final chemical analysis to ensure that you are getting exactly what you want, clean, fresh, wholesome, chemical free, grains! In order for us to produce “certified organic” wheat berries, Wheat Montana Farms must use “natural fertilizer or manure” (cow, sheep, chicken, etc). Since our products go directly from the field to the table with no irradiation or pasteurization, we are concerned about the possibility of cross contamination from virulent bacteria. We do not, at this current time, use animal manure in order to eliminate any possibility of cross contamination for our customers.WE DO NOT USE G.M.O. (GENETICALLY MODIFIED) VARIETIES OF ANY KIND. NO G.M.O.!!

i have looked at thatsite and thought it was interesting what they said it takes to be organic.. and using animal manure and cross contamination since they dont irradiate or pasteurize their wheat.

I may go out on a limb here... but just because they are not certified organic does not mean (in my opinion) they are not organic. It sounds to me that this is good stuff. My eggs are not certified organic, but as far as I'm concerned they are.. I know what goes in my chickens... same with my cow... the meat won't be certified as organic but he is pasture fed. and no chemicals have been used on on acreage... except manure due to the cow having to go to the bathroom...lol.

If your ground is depleted (no topsoil) you can use manure if you know where it comes from.... i.e. what the cow/chicken is eating... - remember what goes in one way comes out another.
