What is Organic?

 

Certified Organic products are grown and processed without the use of synthetic chemicals, fertilisers, or GMOs. It is an innovative method of farming and production - and is increasingly being recognised as being on the leading edge of food and fibre technology into the future. 

Organics is not just chemical free by testing. It is about the way your food is grown and handled. The whole system is linked - Soil. Plants. Animals. Food. People. Environment. 

Standards to achieve this are internationally recognised, and are assured through annual audits of all certified operators by an independent third party auditor. 

WHY CHOOSE ORGANIC?

Good for people 
Organic fruit and vegetables have been shown in a number of studies to contain more vitamins, nutrients and cancer-fighting antioxidants than non-organic food. 

Organic tastes good 
This is the simple message given by many people who eat organic. 

Good for the environment 
Organic systems aim to reduce dependence on non-renewable resources. Organic production aims at all times towards sustainability whilst having best management of the environment and wildlife as a priority. 

Good for the soil 
Organic systems rely on a modern and scientific understanding of ecology and soil science, while also depending on traditional methods of crop rotations to ensure fertility and weed and pest control. 

Good for the animals 
Great emphasis is placed on animal welfare. 

No synthetic chemicals 
Organic systems prohibit the use of artificial chemicals, pesticides and fertilisers. We don't use these on the crops, and we don't use these on our animals who go though life without the treatment of synthetic growth hormones or drugs. 

No GMO's 
Organic food is produced without GMOs, which are prohibited in the BFA's standards for organic food and farming. 

No BSE (mad cow disease) 
There has not been a case of BSE (mad cow disease) in any herd which has been in full organic management. 

WHY CHOOSE CERTIFIED ORGANIC?

 

The only way customers can be assured that they are purchasing REAL ORGANIC products, produced without the use of synthetic chemicals and GMO's, is to purchase products which have been organically certified.

Lost or Damaged in Transit

From time to time articles go missing or get damaged in transit – it is rare but it does happen. Nothing will leave Ourorganics.com.au in a damaged condition as the freight companies would not accept them.

Once goods have left here they are the responsibility of the freight company, not Ourorganics.com.au, but it is worth making enquiries about possible insurance cover if you are placing a large order as freight companies do have varying clauses etc within their policies. For example an article could go missing and turn up a week later but have sat around a warehouse causing goods to be heat damaged. The item is delivered in an unsatisfactory condition but who’s responsible?

Ourorganics staff will be happy to assist, wherever possible, in the tracking and resolving of these issues but we are not responsible or liable for errors incurred by freight companies.

Terms and Conditions

  1. Customers must check all goods received upon receipt and before signing for it. If this is not possible, then within 48hrs of receipt. If you are unhappy with the quality or freshness, or if there is an insect attack, you must contact us within that 48hrs to discuss the possibility of refund or replacement. Ourorganics.com.au reserves the right to refuse to refund or replace goods that aren’t notified to us as unsatisfactory in the 48hrs from receipt.
  2. Our organics.com.au takes no responsibility for stock damaged or lost in transit. Our organics.com.au staff will assist you in tracking your goods where possible but final responsibility lies with the freight companies.
