We don’t normally think about what we can’t see, touch, smell or taste...

While some sources believe the benefits of pesticides to human nutrition outweigh any potential health risks, research suggests otherwise. As a sustainable project, at the Harmony Hotel we have chosen to be selective with our suppliers and support as much as possible those offering organic, local, and community produce alternatives.

Why? What exactly are organic foods? Why are they good for us? What is the difference between conventional and organic foods?  What should our choice be?

Organic food normally refers to food that is produced without chemical fertilizers and/or food that is not produced with synthetic pesticides and growth promoters. The term "organic" refers to a specific, certified way in which food is grown, handled and processed. Organic farmers opt for less invasive methods than conventional farmers, such as compost fertilizer, crop rotation and giving animals room to roam.
