Top 10 Reasons to Go Organic!
Did you know that Gerber has been making organic baby foods since 1997? Originally called Tender Harvest®, it’s now simply Gerber Organic and includes a complete variety of unique fruit, veggie and dinner purees, and juices as well as toddler meals and snacks. Today, more parents are choosing Gerber Organic foods for their babies. Here are some reasons why:
1. It’s Organic: Gerber Organic foods are as close to nature as possible – grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers or growth hormones.
2. Easy to find: Most major retailers nationwide now stock Gerber Organic, making it easier for you to serve your baby organic food choices.
3. Delicious: Many people believe that organic foods have superior flavor. With over 75 years of experience, Gerber knows how to make great tasting flavors your baby will love.
4. Selective: We could use just any organic apples. But we search for the best of the organic orchards. And our organic bananas are peeled by hand to make sure they’re ripe and naturally sweet. We choose our growers and all our ingredients with care.
5. Big variety: Gerber Organic offers a full range of choices, starting with single-ingredient 1st FOODS®, such as Sweet Potatoes or Applesauce, and adds more variety with 2nd FOODS® like Pear & Wild Blueberry. With a great range of flavors, Gerber makes your baby’s first taste of organic foods even more exciting.
6. Certified: All Gerber Organic products are certified by Oregon Tilth, and follow strict USDA guidelines regulating how products are grown and handled.
7. Good for farmers: A long-time supporter of organic farming, Gerber has helped many growers make the transition from conventional to organic farming and is devoted to minimizing agriculture’s impact on the environment.
8. Kind to the earth: Organic farming feeds the soil, not the plant. So it actually boosts soil fertility.
9. Kind to animals: Organic meats must come from animals that have free access to the outdoors, are fed only organic feed and are raised without added hormones and antibiotics.
10. Good karma: Organic farmers are especially responsible in protecting the soil from depletion. Choosing organic foods supports these efforts and helps leave the planet in better condition for future generations.
