Welcome to Byron Bay Organics - fresh organic food from the green hills behind beautiful Byron Bay, Australia. We are currently in conversion as an organic farm.
Organic foods are grown in a way that complies with organic standards set by the national government and the Organic Growers Association Small Producer Program.
For the vast majority of human history, all agriculture can be described as 'organic'; only during the 20th century was a large supply of new synthetic chemicals introduced to the food supply. This more recent style of production is referred to as "conventional."
Under organic production, the use of conventional non-organic pesticide (including insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides) and other artificial inputs (such as chemical fertilizers) is precluded.
Healthy food is the basis of good health.
Many degenerative diseases can be linked to deficiencies in minerals, vitamins and essential fatty acids in the commercialised conventional western diet.
An optimum amount of naturally occurring nutrients are required every day for maintaining good health. Vegetables, grains and legumes are true super foods.
Rich in micronutrients, these foods are packed with a whole host of antioxidants that fight disease and slow the ageing process.
They also contain considerable amounts of fibre which helps keep your digestive system healthy, slows blood sugar responses and keeps cholesterol levels in check.
