Fruit, Veggies, and Pesticides

We know a healthy diet requires a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables, but these seemingly healthy choices may instead be full of pesticides! Take a look at the infographic below posted by EcoMom to find out what else you're consuming when biting into an apple.

You may think you're safe when you're buying the organic foods from the store, but even some of the organic fruits and veggies suffer from the pesticide run off from the farm next door before making it onto the shelves. Just because it isn't grown with pesticides doesn't mean you're going to be free from them.

The best way to ensure your food is pesticide free is to grow your own garden, and for even safer measures to grow a raised bed garden. If you need help getting started on an organic garden make sure to give us a call here at A Back Yard Farm.
