Sure, organic foods are traditionally higher priced than non-organic – but it’s a price well worth the payoff.
Organic foods include fewer (or no) pesticides, more nutrients and are GMO-free, contributing to better mental and physical health. Organic farming practices are better for the environment, too. They increase soil fertility, conserve water and use less energy.
Here are some of the best organic food stores to visit in Mississauga for your organic fruits, vegetables, meats, and more.
