I see that the company is called World Organics, but I don't see specifically that the alfalfa is organic. Is this product actually organic?

No - the alfalfa is not organic. I have just been in communication with Swanson products, searching for an organic chlorophyll product, and they checked it out for me. Although they carry several products none of them were listed as organic, so I am still searching. I think having the name have organic in it almost makes it a false advertisement. Frustrating. Now I see conflicting information. One label says organic alfalfa, but then says it also contains parabens (Methylparaben, Propylparaben). Do we want to eat those? Could it be that their labels could maybe be different on different batches?

I checked the package. It says it is a "natural" food item... you could call the farm.. It does NOT say Organic on package so..I assume it is not

I called the company after I received the box of seeds and they are the ones who supply to Bobs Red Mill. They come from Mexico, but the box also came with a certificate showing the lab analysis and the breakdown of the product contents. They state they have no pesticides,etc. and when I talked with the company the gentleman stated they were indeed organic. I've been using this box for quite some time and all is well. But price for price it's about the same as you would pay from Wegman's whole foods section. The best part is the grocery store doesn't provide a lab analysis, but the Chosen Foods company does. They are wholesalers and supply to many companies. Hope this helps with info you need to make a realistic decision.

Sorry, I don't have any of that information. The only information on the product's label is a bar code, and "Gourmet Lavender - New Crop". Although I normally wouldn't assume anything, I think the seller would want to tout the product's organic status if it exists. Therefore, since it wasn't stated, I would say it is not organic.

While I don't know personally, I can tell you that the product does not meet the USDA organic standard, as mentioned on one of their site forums. They do not disclose why that is, but if I had to guess, that is a possibility until they disclose specifically why their products don't meet USDA qualifications. I just sent an email to info@genhydro.com and jesse@genhydro.comasking about this for you to see, but you should ask for yourself as well.

That's true. It does not have the world "organic" anywhere in the description. On the can itself it says that the company is a third generation family farm and that they use highest quality and freshest almonds. I hope this helps.

My package says organic but if there is nothing on yours that says organic, I would not assume they are. Todd's Seeds is very communicative via email so I would ask them directly.

Because this is not Organic. Note the name of the producer is "Y.S. Organic Bee Farm". They do also sell the organic kind, just not this one. Quite misleading with the green label and all..

I noticed that too, but the main reason I buy this product is because it is unbromated, unbleached, fresh and high quality. Organic became buzz word just like "fat free", "all natural" or "star compliant", to the point I have seen bag of potatoes with label "fat free" affixed on it. (?hmmm). Wheat will not grow just from rain water - it needs fertilizer, hopefully natural one yet does not need deadly pesticides or being genetically enhanced like some grains. How about genetically altered soybean organic milk - yes it is all organic because no bug will even wants to seat on it now. Bottom like - beware of fine print and play of words as "natural flavoring" is actually one of approved names for MSG. To me the most important is that Bob's Red Mill offers fresh and natural grains. I purchase on regular basis sunflower seed, pumpkin seed and few other products from this company and so far never had any issues with quality, taste or freshness.

This product is not organic. They do have one that is a little more expensive that is organic! Maybe it was just a typo!

Because I was not there when the buckwheat was grown and harvested I can only trust the description that it is organic. I have not had any type of reaction so I have to say it is organic.

No, it's not technically organic. But that does not mean it's bad, unless you're trying to maintain an organic grower status. I highly recommend the book "The Intelligent Gardener," by Steve Solomon for a no-nonsense overview of organic methods supplemented with use of fertilizers. http://www.amazon.com/The-Intelligent-Gardener-Growing-Nutrient/dp/0865717184

I do not see anywhere on the label that it is either 100% organic or non GMO. I do see that it is derived from grass-fed cows (but it does not say "completely grass-fed") and no antibiotics or growth hormones.

Thank you for answering...but as far as i know organic does not mean it is also GMO, right?

I checked their website and there is no mentipn of them being organic so I'm concluding they are not.They are very good and I'm sure you'll like them.Good Luck to you...john

Well, it doesn't say organic so my guess would be that it is conventional. Most products tend to brag if they went to the extra effort of avoiding pesticides. I would find a product that explicitly says organic if you are concerned about pesticide residues (they are found in over a quarter of peanut butters, so simply removing the shell is not enough).

Not sure. I do know it is all natural and organic. But that's a question to ask the farmers.
