WHO DO YOU SOURCE YOUR PRODUCTS FROM?

Our primary source of products is from Jamaican farmers. Only if the products are not available from local farmers, such as exotic fruits, nuts and vegetables (e.g. Kiwi, Flaxseed & Peach etc.), or the local price becomes prohibitively too expensive for resale to our customers, then and only then we choose to import from registered importers who source from internationally certified growers and distributors.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONVENTIONALLY GROWN, NATURALLY GROWN AND ORGANIC?

Conventionally Grown
We refer to produce as conventionally grown if the produce (e.g. Yam), was grown the conventional way by applying some synthetic (man-made) chemicals, such as fertilizers, pesticides or fungicides, during the preparation or growing stages of the produce. Also, if the ingredients of a finished, processed or packaged product of a produce grown by conventional methods (Synthetic chemicals added), then we classify the product as conventionally grown. Where we cannot verify the method of growing of a produce or the ingredients of a product, we also classify that product as conventionally grown.

Naturally Grown
We refer to produce or finished products made with ingredients as naturally grown, if they were grown without applying any synthetic (man-made) chemicals, such as fertilizers, pesticides, or fungicides, during the preparation or growing stages of the produce.

Certified Naturally Grown is a Participatory Guarantee System. This system has existed for decades, but in recent years, its has gained recognition for the valuable role it plays in the organic movement by including small-scale farmers in organic guarantee systems.

The Participatory Guarantee System provides an important alternative to third-party certification programs. In addition to being more affordable and less reliant on paperwork, the system is distinguished by its approach. Inspections are carried out by peers – typically other farmers in the area.

This model is based on transparency, trust, and direct relationships, which is backed up by a Residue Test to verify they the produce was indeed Naturally Grown. The Participatory Guarantee System fosters local networks that strengthen the farming community through mutual support and educational opportunities.

Organic
We refer to produce or finished products made with ingredients as Organic, if they were grown without applying any synthetic chemicals, such as fertilizers, pesticides, or Fungicides, during the preparation or growing stages of the produce, and IS CERTIFIED by an Approved Organic Certifying Organization.
