I grew up on a Almond ranch & my Father was interested in "no pesticides in foods" idea very early, late 40's. My Mother always had a vegetable garden, as during the the 30's. Kept a
Cow for milk products, chickens for eggs and meat. They made sure all foods were without commercial fertilizer and pesticides. I was the last born and then they kept a Goat as Cow products did not agree with me very early. Later ok. We did benefit from the Organic way of producing vegs. and eggs and some meats. My Parents kept this up all their lives. All 5 of the children strayed for awhile, but eventually came back to Organics and Grass Fed Meats.

I search and forage for the best I can afford as I am older and retired now and have more time to look and less money to spend. Thank you for what you do.....Lenore

Oh my goodness! We purchased your blueberries at whole foods Wowowow! What flavor and taste. If we weren't sold after reading about pesticide use on blueberries, this is totally convincing. Thank you thank you for growing in this way and making our mornings! Patti, Charles and Logan Jacobina

I got interested in organic foods 40 yrs. ago when my older son was born. I was already concerned about additives and synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. I thought it was just common sense to protect my health and that of my family by feeding us the purest, safest food I could. Back then we were called health nuts. I thought you were a nut to NOT eat organically grown foods! It is naive of us to think that science has all the answers to our problems. We were expecting science to make growing food easier, but God said that "by the sweat of your brow you shall eat your food."(Gen. 3:19)

Several reasons.
1. It is now much more affordable and well worth it.
2. I have fibromyalgia and am always looking for ways to naturally improve my condition. Organic makes me feel better.
3. I saw "Food Inc." and was reminded of why organic is the only way to go.
I am eating one of your delicious oranges as I type this.

I am a mother of 5 and dedicated home maker! When I started educating myself on cooking for my family and eliminating processed foods, we found out that even though my children attend public schools they don't get sick. We have been growing and buying our own organic foods for 2 years now and my 10 year old daughter "pretended" to be sick one day so she could stay home from school because all her friends were home sick for a couple of days. I buy organic foods for the health of my family. I always hear from friends how expensive organic food is, well if I bought the commercially grown food and fed this to my family and had to deal with sick children 12 months out of the year - wouldn't that be more expensive?
Sincerely,
Pamela

I always try to buy organic products. I just got home from the farmers market today and busted into my bag of organic red seeded grapes. Wow!!! You guys grow the best grapes I have ever eaten. I have gone through over half the bag in one sitting. I will have to keep an eye out for some of your other products. Keep up the good work and thank you for a great product.

I passed a display of the organic flame grapes and gasped at their size! I bought. Not only are these crisp and "taste with a sparkle" the best, they are great thirst quenchers. I am sold on organic.

Some years ago I was presented with the reoccurrence of cancer. This time I was determined to cure it with natural methods, one being food. I started juicing 3 quarts of green juice every day. At this point I was extremely physically tired and somewhat emotionally troubled. I had heard that organic was better than conventional produce, although at this point I had not tried it, mainly due to monetary issues. I was determined to heal and jumped in with both feet on the organic path. To my surprise within a week I had TONS of energy and I was emotionally feeling better. Then a friend asked, " Can you afford ORGANIC all the time?" I really couldn't, so I decided to go back to conventional, but use the "agri check" vegetables that supposedly had been tested and were free on detectable pesticides. Within 3 days of juicing those vegetables I lost all my energy, and was back to square one. I was almost in disbelief. The only thing I changed was the ORGANIC vegetables. After several days of low to no energy, I decided to go back to organic and see what would happen. Within a week I had my energy and attitude back. I have NEVER gone back, and will NEVER go back to conventional. That was in 1999. I have come to realize that choosing organic, and voting with my dollars, is not just about physical health now, it is also about the health of our planet and the future of our children. So choose organic for any reason you can, it's one of the best choices you will ever make, for you, our children, the animals and our beautiful planet Earth.

I purchased two bags of HGO grapes because they were on sale @ the local HEB, the fact that they were organically grown was not (at the time) a big deal. Much to my surprise, no sooner had I served my children the grapes, they came running to me and stated, "Mom, where did you get these grapes, they are so good and full of flavor!! You'll need to buy these again." After tasting the grapes, I too was convinced. If my children could tell the difference then who am I to disagree...so I'm glad to report that we are now an ORGANIC FAMILY!!! Thank you for all the time and commitment you put into your products to ensure our satisfaction and most importantly our well being. GO ORGANIC!!!!
