Studies prove TURMERIC to be as effective as some potent medications

The orange colored spice that is commonly used in Indian cuisine, especially curries has been long known by the Chinese and Indian cultures as a medicinal herb and remedy for many ailments due to it's anti-inflammatory and anti oxidant components.  Turmeric which contains 'curcurmin', the active natural ingredient, provides many health benefits which rival modern drug treatments.

In a study published in Biochemical Pharmacology (September 2005) "Curcumin acts against transcription factors, which are like a master switch," said lead researcher, Bharat Aggarwal. "Transcription factors regulate all the genes needed for tumors to form. When we turn them off, we shut down some genes that are involved in the growth and invasion of cancer cells."

GMO or NonGMO?

It’s important to note that many European countries have led the way in labeling genetically modified foods or completely banning them. More education is needed to clear up confusion about the use of GMO’s, how they are developed and effects on the environment, food supply and human health.

Currently, most corn is genetically modified to resist disease, insects and weeds.  Controversy exists because it is unknown what the long term health effects may be to humans. We support legislation creating a national food labeling standard for genetically modified organisms. Labeling will allow consumers to make more informed food choices.

Our commitment then as it is now is to provide you with the freshest, highest quality produce at the lowest possible cost every day of the week. This is possible because we bring our produce into the market several times a week directly from our producers!

We arrange our own transportation so we can receive the product on time. Our system for handling produce insures you are taking home the freshest product possible. We support sustainable methods by our growers and our organic selection far surpasses most markets regionally.

What About Organics?

For most fresh food consumers, organic produce means

non-chemically treated, non-use of unapproved pesticides, fresh or minimally processed food. The implication is that organic produce is somewhat safer than conventionally grown foods and more nutritious. This may be true, however

ORGANIC Standards vary in each country and a savvy customer should do their own research into the standards where their foods originate. USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) requires strict adherence to their definition of ORGANIC products with the USDA label. Farmers may grow their foods organically, but not be USDA certified, even though the quality and processing is comparable. All of our organic produce has been certified organic by the standards set forth by the USDA and country of origin. You can be assured of the quality of these items and even our conventional produce, which is continually checked for quality.
