    PUT YOUR HEALTH FIRST! Why choose Organic?

    Why Choose Organic? Our Story:

    What are the benefits of eating Organic Food? Why would anyone choose Organic?
    The FROG family have been eating Organic Food for about 20 years now. Ever since our first child was born, we were unsure about giving our precious young son fruit and vegetables that were sprayed with herbicides and pesticides, but we also wanted to give him the best fresh food we could - which meant lots of fresh fruit and vegetables! Through our own research, we decided to eat Organic food, even though the effort and cost was a little more, we decided the benefits were more than worth it! WE DECIDED TO MAKE OUR HEALTH A PRIORITY! Today, Simon and I have 6 healthy, happy children who've been raised on good Organic and Chemical-free food.
    And now, since owning FROG - we are so happy to be able to provide good Organic Fruit and Vegetables to our community. I wanted to share some thoughts on why eating organic is such a great choice for our health-
    ?Less Chemicals: One of the best things about organic foods is that they’re grown without synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. This means we’re avoiding those nasty chemicals that can sneak into our bodies. It’s all about keeping our systems healthy!
    ?More Nutrients: Did you know that organic produce might have higher levels of antioxidants and vitamins? These little powerhouses are so important for fighting off free radicals and keeping our immune systems strong.
    ?Gut Health Love: Eating organic can also be great for our gut health. When we consume nutrient-rich foods, it helps maintain a healthy gut microbiome, which is crucial for digestion and even our mood!
    ?No GMOs: If you’re concerned about genetically modified organisms, organic foods are a safe bet. They’re grown without GMOs, so you can feel good about what you’re putting on your plate.
    ?Supporting the Planet: While it’s not just about personal health, choosing organic often supports more sustainable farming practices. A healthier environment leads to healthier communities, and that’s a win for all of us!
    Organic Food is worth it! Whether you're a regular customer, you're considering ordering from us, or you've ordered in the past and considering giving us another try - you won't be disappointed with FROG!
    PUT YOUR HEALTH FIRST TODAY!
