Certified Organic and Kosher
Organic foods have become popular for good reason. Beyond the hype: they promote a healthier lifestyle for those who consume them, help preserve the environment and support local economies.
Every Amish Naturals product is certified organic by the California Certified Organic Farmers Association (CCOF) and the USDA.
The CCOF, widely considered the strictest Organic sanctioning body, describes organic food as follows:
Organic food is produced by farmers who emphasize the use of renewable resources and the conservation of soil and water to enhance environmental quality for future generations. (USDA) Certified organic food in the United States is grown according to standards set by the National Organic Program. According to those standards, organic food is produced without using most conventional pesticides; fertilizers made with synthetics or sewage sludge; bioengineering; or ionizing radiation. Organic meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products come from animals that are given no antibiotics or growth hormones. (source:
