Why do we choose organic?

At In Praise of Herbs, we strive to live in harmony with nature as much as possible. Organic farming fits right in with this because it respects and nourishes the earth, rather than depleting it. It is a way of growing and living that shows respect for the soil, the plants and ultimately for ourselves.

Soil as a living organism

Everything starts with the soil. A healthy soil is not a lifeless substrate, but a vibrant ecosystem full of microorganisms, earthworms and fungi that together provide a nutritious base for our crops. In organic farming, this soil is not depleted with fertilizers or chemical pesticides, but nourished with compost, crop rotation and natural fertilization. This keeps the soil fertile and alive, generation after generation.

Agriculture in harmony with nature

Instead of monocultures that impoverish the soil and drive out insects, the organic farmer chooses diversity. Flower borders attract beneficial insects, crop rotation prevents diseases and green ground covers protect the soil from drying out. No quick fixes with chemicals, but an approach that looks beyond today.

Eating as nature intended

What grows organically is given time to mature. No artificial growth accelerators, no unnecessary additives – just pure nutrition, as nature designed it for us. The taste of an organic tomato, just picked from the bush, speaks volumes. Not watery, but full and powerful, a reflection of the rich soil in which it grew.

Fair trade, a clean chain

Organic is not the cheapest way, but it is the fairest way. It means a fair price for the farmer, so he can continue to work with respect for the earth. It means a short chain, where we know where our food comes from.

Why organic. That’s why organic.

Those who choose organic choose not only for themselves, but also for the world around them. For soil that stays alive, for food that is pure and full of flavor.

At In Praise of Herbs, we believe that nature knows what’s good for us. And organic is simply a way of following that wisdom.

Certification In Praise of Herbs
