Natural or Organic?
We explain it here with exerpts taken from Naturalhub.
'Natural Food' is genuine unprocessed food.
'Organic food' is a term conjured up by man and, as such, can be identified as having no sprays as determined by government bodies.
'Organic food' is food raised (depending on the definition-there are many of them) without chemical fertilizers (such as urea, potassium sulfate, or super phosphate) or chemical pesticides, fungicides, or herbicides.
It allows 'natural' metal fungicides such as copper sulphate and sulphur, but no other chemicals.
'Natural Food' are foods that are substantially as would be found in nature - without residues, wholesome and good without the interference of man.
The building up of organic matter in the soil, or it's destruction, is entirely outside the issue of what natural food is, for example the New Forest is totally natural and yet it is not organic.
One day, a 'natural food' standard may be drafted. Maybe.
Until such time, 'organic' food is a 'standard'.
We believe in Natural Food, naturally grown, naturally made produce that has no artificial products whatsoever.
As close to nature as possible.

It is totally natural, so that is why we call our foods,
