Organic Market at The Shoppes at Palmilla

Organic means products that were either created, prepared or raised without using genetically modified ingredients, no chemicals were used to kill bugs and weeds and all pesticides are natural and no chemical additives were added to keep fresh for an unnatural amount of time. A lot of the time, we as consumers go to our nearest supermarket to purchase food products that we will later consume by ourselves or with our families without much concern on where it came from or how it was raised. The food industry, simply put is big business and if they can find a way to cut corners and costs, they will do it in which to raise their profit margins. Some people started being concerned about this along with farmers who grow fruits, vegetables and others who raise livestock and in this process, organic markets started to pop up around the world.
